 Hello, my name is Ashley and I work with the Ecosystem Restoration Counts Foundation and this is a little video for me to bust a myth about our online course which is starting again on the 18th of January. So without further ado, let's go. So myth number one is that you have to pay for the whole course up front. This is not true. You can pay in installments so you can pay module per module or month This number two is that it's all online. There's no practical components. Again not true. There are ways that you can do this physically. There's a practical module in the course where you create a restoration plan for a piece of land either of your choice or you join a group that already has some land that they are working on and there are opportunities for you to go and physically take part in that project during the course if that suits the person whose course it is and the person whose project it is I mean. And secondly some of the projects are ecosystem restoration camps and there are opportunities for you to go to the camp during the course itself so that you can physically be on the land. Myth number three is that you have to own your own land in order to have this course. You need to have a piece of land already that you are working on to take the course. Again not the case. There are other people that will be joining the course that will have their own land that you can join with to be on their team in their group for the practical module and you can also have a piece of land in mind create a design for that land and then approach the landowner and see if they would be willing to do a restoration project. Myth number four is that this is the same as a PDC. That's not the case. A PDC is a design or permaculture itself is a design methodology that has its own ethics, principles, whole way of doing things. A permaculture is just one of the many techniques and methodologies that the course covers. Myth number five is that you have to always be available for the lectures. That's not the case. The lectures are pre-recorded so you can watch them at any time that suits you. There is one live Q&A per week with the teacher which takes place at half past five till half past six. Greenwich Mean Time, that's British time and if you can't make that time then you can put your questions in beforehand and the sessions are recorded. So those are five myths about the course that we've just busted and I really hope that you would like to take part in this course. It's been really life-changing and some of the students that have already taken part in it will give you a chance to gain knowledge, experience, expertise, meet new people and kickstart your career in ecosystem restoration design. So I hope to see you on the course team.
