Permaculture I (Permaculture Foundations) VSS104
Understand the concepts and ethics of permaculture with this introductory course to permaculture. This course introduces the basic concepts of Permaculture, and develops a basis for permaculture design by explaining the patterns which occur in nature, such as weather systems, water cycles, topography, soil-plant interactions and forest ecology, and how a knowledge of these patterns can be used to reproduce balanced and productive garden growing systems. With further study after this course, you can also obtain the Permaculture Design Certificate.

Permaculture Systems BHT201
Learn to Design Sustainable Gardens A permaculture system is a unique landscape where all the plants and animals live in balance in a self sustaining ecosystem. Permaculture has an ethical approach to designing land use and community systems, to provide food, ecological habitats and other essentials needed for human survival. Learning to develop plans for permaculture systems (i.e. a unique landscape where plants and animals live in a balanced and self sustaining ecosystem) is a crucial part of the permaculture process. Study this course to learn about the different growing methods which underpin permaculture, natural systems which constitute ecology i.e. the relationships between water, soils, plants and animals, zonal planning in permaculture systems and how plants, animals, fish and other components fit in. Completion of the course can be used towards a permaculture design certificate. ACS has been a member of the Permaculture Association (UK) and the Alternative Technology Association (Australia) for decades.
