What our students are saying
★★★★★
Graham (founder of P3) is one of those exceptional students you remember because you know they are going to go a long way, and this has proven to be the case. I can confidently recommend his work as quite a remarkable permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and practitioner.

★★★★★
this is the best online course I've taken so far because it actually comes across as so authentic and real, not just this monotonous lecture.

★★★★★
I love what you've done with the course... It's taking me a long time to get through the material not because it's difficult or uninteresting, but because it is so interesting! The rabbit holes are a bit ridiculous.

Graham is the kind of teacher we need... I would recommend the PDC to EVERYONE, as you can apply the principles learned to every aspect of your life.

Questions before you choose
A PDC is the standard international permaculture design curriculum. On P3, Essential and Accelerator both include the online PDC and the certificate path. Accelerator adds 1-on-1 design work on your site so you finish as a practitioner, not only with a certificate.
Same PDC foundation. Essential is self-paced: lifetime course access, community, and the official certificate path for $1,022 CAD tax-in (or 6 monthly payments of $200). Accelerator is the practitioner path: 6 private design sessions, portfolio review, Inner Circle and Guild, AI toolkit and Mastery Vault, for $4,997 CAD (or 12 monthly payments of $497). Stack worth $8,697.
Yes. All levels are welcome. You can start from scratch or go deeper if you already design and teach.
No. The design process scales from a small urban site to a farm. Accelerator sessions are about your land and your context, whatever size you have.
Yes. We go deep on northern cold-winter resilience. The curriculum is built on regenerative principles you can apply on frost or on heat.
Essential is the on-demand path: learn in short modules, do the exercises, keep lifetime access, and complete the certificate path on your schedule. Accelerator keeps that curriculum and adds six 1-on-1 design calls across the year while you build the work.
More answers
Design your own land with a clear process. Some graduates consult, teach, or implement for others. Accelerator is built so you leave with practitioner skills and portfolio-ready review, not another unread course folder. We do not promise jobs.
Essential moves at your pace with lifetime access. Some people finish in months. Others take a year or more. Accelerator adds six private sessions across the year on your property, designs, and the steps that put you on your feet as a practitioner by the end of the program.
Yes, if a seat is open. We take about 5 Accelerator students a year. Upgrade is possible. It is not guaranteed.
A full-satisfaction period to evaluate the course materials. 30 days. Open it. Work it. Decide with the content in front of you, not a sales page.
Accelerator mentorship is remote and done with you on your site: designs, site problems, and next steps. That is different from a local hands-on intensive. If you want in-person practicum options, those live on separate P3 offers. This page is the online PDC comparison.
Choose Essential if you want the full PDC, lifetime access, and to move at your own pace. Choose Accelerator if you want eyes on your land, 1-on-1 design pressure, and practitioner status by the end. Same PDC. Different speed.
