Hello

[Mariposa]

New to the forum. Hoping we can share ideas and information. I'm doing my diploma, mainly based in Scotland, UK. Planning to do a couple of projects overseas next year. Perhaps returning to central and south america to do some more traveliing/wwoofing and maybe cultivate some new pastures...

That's a Dip Hort is it? Have you got access to a bit of dirt to play in yourself as well? Nice to have you come and join in.

Doubly welcome Mariposa - now that you are part of the wildly growing "Mandala Town" family.

Thanks for welcome!

Eco - Aplogies for slow reply - that is the Diploma in applied permaculture through the UK pc association. Here the system goes - PDC - 2yr Diploma (10 designs) - presentation/approval - Tutor. With lots of tutorials/guilds inbetween. Similar system?

Welcome. I'm new too. Wondering how you posted this. My introductory post did not show up.

Thanks Mariposa - I think it is a different system. We have PC teachers that run a PDC training program, but not as a Diploma subject. I think it has to do with our govt and what you have to do to become recognized to offer Diplomas. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm getting it wrong. For something that had (still has?) one foot on the fringe of society it still strikes me as strange to have it offered as a mainstream Diploma!

Matthew - we Mods are still sorting out some spam issues. You may have had your post deleted by mistake, or it might be sitting in the "to be moderated" queue. Bear with us... And welcome!
