Bill Mollison in the past encouraged pc teachers to set up their own
institutes and print their own certificates - most longer term teachers
in Australia have been doing this for many years. You don't have to get
certificates from The Institute.
Last I heard was that The Permaculture Institute still states that a
PDC-certificate holder may teach a PDC.
