Online vs. Onsite Permaculture Courses: Which is Better?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n

When deciding which permaculture course to take, the question at the forefront of it is whether to go with an online and onsite (in-person) version. Like so many things in the world (and permaculture design), the answer to this is variable, dependent on individual circumstances, abilities, and goals.<\/p>\n

In short, either one could be great (and we are happy to have you on the permaculture team); however, your first assignment will be figuring out which format works best for you, your learning style, your tendencies, your needs\u2026your mental climate so to speak. So, rather than deciding outright which is better, this article will be looking at how each works so that perspective students might choose for themselves.<\/p>\n

Whilst doing this, we\u2019ll work under the assumption that PDC students usually take the course with at the very least a cursory knowledge of permaculture\u2014some sort of sustainable living thing that has to do with growing food in seemingly unconventional ways<\/i>\u2014and want to learn further what permaculture is and, more so, how to use it themselves.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, it\u2019s important that courses cover the basics of the practice, providing the history of, the motivation behind, and the basic theories within permaculture. From there, students would ideally want to take on the practices of permaculture and begin applying them to their own lives at their own homes. After all, the point of permaculture is put into action these things that we have observed and learned about the world.<\/p>\n
