Hi Folks :)
I'm trying to locate the fields of specialization that one can
undertake to work towards the Diploma as a Permaculture Consultant -
these are on page 13 of #19 Permaculture Journal. Does anyone know if
this is on the web somewhere. Thanks in advance :))

Hi Marcus -
I'm sure you are referring to the 2-year diploma, and not
the 72-hour Permaculture trainee/apprentice certificate.
Below is the information as printed on page 81 of the American
Permaculture Directory, also listed on the website,
[http://www.permaculture.net]
in the American Permaculture Directory section.
This information is from Mollison's Foundation
Year-Book of the Permaculture Academy, printed in
1993, so one would still have to contact Mollison
for updates & procedures.
NOTE: As far as I know, he is the
only one granting diplomas, but even though I have
been told I have earned one & applied for it over
two years ago, I am still waiting.
John
