- What is permaculture: ethics, principles & history.
- The ecological basis of permaculture: global climate, weather & ecology.
- Patterns in the landscape: major patterns of geology, flora, water & land use.
- Permaculture design methodology.

- Social applications: permaculture design in the broader contexts of communities.
- Finance & economics, land tenure & economic reform.
- Permaculture in built environments and technologies.
- Implementing permaculture: business strategies, personal strategies and practicing permaculture beyond the PDC.
