[Pil-pc-oceania] Vol 9, Issue 28 Jim's Permaculture

[Susan Girard]

Please don't get me wrong.
Although I am obviously sound like a permie pessimist, I would prefer to 
think of myself as cautious (as I said slow and simple solutions) Yes I 
think that every should know as much as they can about permaculture.
But sorry in a year heading toward a election, I'm remembering why I trust 
no one, very much.
I do in fact agree in what is being discussed, what a good innovative idea 
evolving out of climate change and reductions in lawn care. And may we all 
get some work out of the situation. However like Laurence Gaffney I just do 
not understand.

Yes Robyn, wouldn't it be great if Jim's men went on to do Cert III and IV. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a PDC is the pre-requisite to these 
certificates courses.  I know that under AQTF standards a Certificate III is 
levelled where you can work on your own; whilst a Cert IV is aimed at 
supervisory level. And okay Jim and is men have to go one step at a time, I 
appreciate that...And yes, I know from conversations with 'satisfied 
customers' that Rick and Naomi Coleman are great teachers.
Maybe what I have read/heard has been taken out of context, because 
retrofitting and  building works are specialist fields and not in the 
syllabus.
Wishing all the Jim's out there - all the best!
