For reference, here Paul described about how long each badge should take:
paul wheaton wrote:A formal PEP1 program would last 2 weeks (~80 hours). Completing the PEP1 program requires 16 sand badges.
A formal PEP2 program would fill a summer (~510 hours). Requires 1 wood badge + 7 straw badges + 14 sand badges.
A formal PEP3 program would take about nine months (~1550 hours). Requires 7 wood badges + 15 straw badges.
A formal PEP4 program would take a little over two years (~4700 hours). Requires 3 iron badges + 12 wood badges + 7 straw badges.
In general, I think the approximate time to complete a badge would be about:
sand badge: ~5 hours
straw badge: ~40 hours (+35 hours over sand, about 4 or 5 days)
wood badge: ~220 hours (+180 hours over straw, about 4 to 5 weeks)
iron badge: 1250 hours (+1030 hours over wood, about six months)

What Chris here above calls 'level 1' to me looks like level 3 at least.
I thought of starting with the easiest things for level 1, like making about a kilogram (4 jars) of jam (half fruit, half sugar) and the same amount of sweet&sour pickles (gherkins). And freezing green beans and ready-made soups. These are skills I aleady have, but for someone who isn't used to 'cook from scratch' I consider them a good starting level.

PEP won't contain aquaponics. Maybe PEC will? (Permaculture Experience according to Cameron?)
A lot of water stuff will be in plumbing. Pond stuff will be in earthworks. Aquaculture will be in animal care.
