The Certificate Program can be undertaken by anyone with access to enough land to form 4 garden beds. This course will guide you through first the theory behind Biodynamics and then take you through creating your own production enterprise. The course costs AU$5500 and takes approximately 2 years to complete. As a student you will need to give about 5 hours a week to the study of the course and a little bit more when the practical units start. Our assessor is Peter van Vliet who is based in the UK and offers support via phone, email and through our online forum where you can interact with fellow students.
