Thanks Rafter for this notice. We have a wide network that are active in
the Aid Industry and as you and your team we have been considering working
on a similar course. We have not found the extra resources needed in our 36
hr day to confirm such a course yet. We do see the huge need for courses of
this nature.
I would like to forward this into our networks but will first need
clarification on a number of elements for us to feel comfortable in doing
so and promoting it.
These are
1. The course is advertised assumingly, as a combination PDC and
Permaculture in Aid Course and from the curriculum in The Designers
Manual *"Permaculture
Design Courses always include the international recognized PDC Curriculum
that can be found in the Permaculture Designer’s Manual."*
Can you give me the exact reference pages where this is in The Designers
Manual so our clients can assure themselves of this ?
2. Could you also offer us the day to day hour by hour timetable for the
entire course to satisfy exactly what is being taught and when ?
3. How much face to face lecture time is there in both courses? We know
there is a minimum required standard of 72 hrs F2F lecture for an
internationally recognised PDC. What have you for the additional
Permaculture in Aid Course which I assume as you mention is the course
framework of Robyn Francis.
Look fwd to your clarifications so we can wholeheartedly support this great
challenge.
Best regards
Steve Hart
