It is anticipated that the Faculty will become a Company Limited by Guarantee during September 2010. Its proposed Articles of Association are available here.

The Faculty's aim then and now is to raise the standard of astrological education. Since its establishment, the Faculty has become known worldwide as a first class astrological teaching body and its Diploma, the D.F.Astrol.S., is among the most highly valued and recognised international qualifications for the professional astrologer.

Over the years more than 10,000 students from over 90 countries have enrolled on the Faculty's courses, and many of the world's leading astrologers are or were Faculty Diploma holders, such as Liz Greene, Charles Harvey, Julia Parker, Melanie Reinhart and Howard Sasportas.

The Faculty’s courses are comprehensive and flexible, guiding you from the very beginning of your astrological studies right through to professional qualification at Diploma level. You can study by Distance Learning, at Classes in London and at the Faculty’s annual Summer School.

As a teaching and examining body, the Faculty’s team of dedicated, experienced tutors, all of whom hold the Faculty’s Diploma, are devoted to teaching astrology to students all over the world.

We hope you will join us as a student. Learning astrology is immensely rewarding and, whether your studies are for personal enjoyment or with a view to becoming a professional astrologer, we are sure you will be fascinated by the richness and depth of the new world which will emerge as you embark on this inspiring journey.
