This qualification provides a comprehensive set of skills for students interested in sustainability, food production, and environmental management, offering a broad introduction to permaculture practices. From undertaking hands-on projects in school or community gardens, students will gain practical experience in planting, soil improvement, irrigation, and harvesting, as well as developing an understanding of local ecosystems and sustainable land use.
Safety, effective communication, and teamwork are also emphasised through practical activities and group projects, demonstrating the use of tools and equipment, working with others, and applying permaculture principles in real-world contexts. This qualification prepares students for entry-level roles in areas such as community gardening, conservation, and agriculture, as well as pathways into further study.
