The imporatnat thing IMHO about PC courses isn't so much the 'facts &
knowledge', which indeed you could proabaly pick up with judicious home
study and reading, and from applied work , so much as the group dynamics,
the fact that for the duration of the course a learning 'community' is
formed, in which group knowledge, skills, personalities, etc come
together... THAT is the really valuable part...
As for gaining a permaculture diploma in 2 months... well in the UK the
diploma process involves a minimum of 2 years applied Permaculture work from
completion of a 72 hour PC design course...
not sure of the diploma's 'worth' as such anyway, personally I see it more about
recognition of one's personal achievement and reaching a certain stage of
deeper understanding of what 'permaculture' is about and how that is
incorporated into one's practice & lifestyle...
