The course finishes with one full month of Office Hours. With that, we recommend that students who want to be successful in the course be ready to put in a minimum of six hours a week, and up to ten hours a week throughout the eleven to twelve weeks of the course. One additional hour per week is more than sufficient to complete the optional tasks / recommending reading / assignments or challenges for that week. Sometimes our instructors will give you short optional assignments to complete that week, or there may be an optional quiz that you are recommended to complete on your own time. The Q&A portion of each session is optional. We recommend that you attend live (see the course schedule for dates and times), but you can also watch the recordings if you happen to miss a session (see the FAQ about catching up on missed sessions here). In each one of these sessions, two hours are dedicated to lectures from the instructors and one hour is dedicated to Q&A from students. Throughout the duration of the course (week 1 through to week 11) there are three, three-hour online class sessions per week. It is accessible to students the moment they register. Our Permaculture Design Certificate includes a 5-hour Introduction to Permaculture video course (The Permaculture Primer) that all students are expected to watch prior to the first class.

Note that a specified educational program is a program at post-secondary school level that lasts at least three consecutive weeks, and that requires a student to spend no less than 12 hours per-month on courses in the program. Our Permaculture Design Course can meet the requirements of “specified educational program” for the purpose of Educational Assistance Payments, as described on the CRA website. Under the contract, the subscriber names one or more beneficiaries (the future student(s)) and agrees to make contributions for them, and the promoter agrees to pay educational assistance payments (EAPs) to the beneficiaries. For more information about RESPs visit the CRA website. A registered education savings plan (RESP) is a contract between an individual (the subscriber) and a person or organization (the promoter).
