Drake certifies people in person at his farm in Hawaii. Drake says you come for a week, get trained, and get certified in Korean natural farming (Office Hours Ep. 88, 9:02). You get an orange hat and a certificate (Office Hours Ep. 81, 35:04).
The course has three levels (Office Hours Ep. 90, 20:07):
- Level one: how to apply the solutions.
- Level two: how to manufacture them.
- Level three: how to teach.
Drake now certifies through hands-on work, not through an outside organization (Office Hours Ep. 3, 55:01). In March 2024 he had no classes listed (Office Hours Ep. 115, 34:01). Dates change, so email Drake at pureknf.org and ask about the next course (Office Hours Ep. 9, 40:09).
You do not need a certificate to teach. It gives you credentials, access, and a direct lineage to Master Cho (Office Hours Ep. 90, 24:00).
