    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.
