Permaculture Course Survey:PCA/Robyn Francis

Welcome to the Course Graduate Survey

This survey is designed for past participants of permaculture courses with PCA (Permaculture College Australia) and Robyn Francis. After teaching 120 PDC's, 6 years of APT and many other courses, Robyn and the team at PCA want to know how you're going and what you're doing with your permie skills and knowledge.
