About the course

The full course is aimed at people who want to be sharing permaculture with children and teachers, including leading the two day CiP training course in their region, designing school grounds, gardening with children, holistic education with children amongst others. The format is an intensive five day course, followed by a period of 6-12 months during which participants work with children, then another 5 days course (which will include practical assessment) and a portfolio.

Pre-requirements
Before the first course participants need to have two years’ experience working with children and a good understanding of permaculture (the best way to demonstrate this is with having done a Permaculture Design Course, and/or a two day Children in Permaculture course).

Before they can graduate, participants will be expected to have:

• Relevant first aid training
• Permaculture Design Course (PDC) certificate
• Portfolio assessment passed
• A current DBS/PVG/ disclosure certificate (as relevant in the participants own country)
• At least 21 years of age.
