What is the difference between the Level 3 and the Level 4 Skills Bootcamp in Agroecological System Design?

The Level 3 spends much more time on Permaculture as it goes through the entire required syllabus for the PDC (leading to a PDC) and incorporates business skills as part of the design assignment, while the Level 4 focuses mainly on business design, modelling and development and incorporates some advanced Permaculture design elements in the business assignment.
