The EuPN assured teacher
Welcome to the European Permaculture Network’s (EuPN) assured teacher process. Teachers who are assured by us have all the necessary permaculture related education background to deliver courses, tutorials, etc.
With the EuPN Assured Teacher badge you can show everyone that you have gone the extra mile when it comes to Permaculture education.
What is the EUPN assured teacher process?
The EuPN Assured Teacher label is a voluntary recognition granted by the European Permaculture Network. It reflects suitability for this role within the EuPN context, not the evaluation of diplomas or educational pathways.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the EuPN Assured Teacher the following points are necessary:
- Must have an active account at this website.
- Have filled in your teacher profile.
- The boxes for PDC, PTT (TPT or TOT or equivalent) and Diploma* have to be ticked.
- Onboarding has to happen before the peer review.
