Application for associate membership
Registration will provide you with membership of the Institute and access to the members' pages. This is the right page for you if you have completed a recognised 72 hour permaculture design course, but you do not have a Diploma.This is also the right route if you are working towards the Diploma - you are applying for associate membership. To register with us, you will need to provide us with details of your 72 hour course, in particular the venue, the date and the name of the course leader. You will also have to provide the name of a sponsor, who is a full member of the Institute and who has already accepted you as an apprentice. Once you have this information to hand, it should not take long to register.
Note that you can ignore Section 1 of the sign-up form because it is for people who already have their diploma.
Registration is not automatic and you will have to wait for an e-mail from our Registrar (who does not work regular office hours).
Membership Services
Once your application has been accepted, you will need to sign in to access the member services. Click on the "Member login" option, above right, in the heading area. You will be redirected to your personal "home" page, but you will now see the "Member Services" menu at the top of the right hand panel. You may then select an item from this menu.
