MORE STUDENT LOVE…
I was so thrilled to discover this course. Even though I’ve not completed the course, we have already changed how we source our seeds, what we can grow, where we can source our food. We have a really good idea of what and how we are going to create a sustainable lifestyle in our new home. Thank you Mel for showing us how to do this. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow and the support you provide is outstanding.
I suffered from a brain tumour in March last year and from that moment on, I was determined to combine my love of gardening with a healthier lifestyle, more in-tune with the environment. I found this course and decided to take it on. I am so glad I did. I still have a couple of modules to finish but I found the course informative and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to putting everything I have learned into action and can’t wait until the food I put on our table is 100% ours.
This course has given me a new understanding of gardening. I am a very busy person with work, but gardening is my down time. This course has inspired me to have a compost, and worm towers in my veggie garden and I am so inspired every year by what I can do. Thank you so much Mel and crew for this amazing course where you under no pressure and supported all the way.
I have found a new passion for becoming greener in the way that I live. My yard and home has been transformed thanks to this course and I’ve learnt so much. It is really well put together, easy to understand and complete. Thank you!
I am just starting out with the course, yet is is presented in such am easy to use format, which is great for anyone returning to studying. The explanations given in the video segments are great and easy to follow.
The Sustainable Living Certificate Course is so flexible and full of easy to follow guides. There is so much I have learnt and helped others with since doing the modules.
The content of all of Mel’s work is invaluable and is given so generously. The Sustainable Living Certificate Course was truly pioneering in bringing education in sustainability to those that want to care for community and the earth.
I am currently doing The Sustainable Living Certificate Course and I find the content very informative and helpful. Mel will respond to any questions really quickly and is very patient with anyone who isn’t computer savvy.
My backyard and life is completely changed because of this brilliant course. I stopped and started and didn’t rush the course so I could build my dream backyard. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful course, I have enjoyed it so much.
