From beginner to advanced in nine modules
Our curriculum is structured to guide you through nine progressive modules through Foundation and Diploma levels, preparing you for both personal growth and professional astrological practice.

A brief overview of each level is shown below. For more details about each, click on the links below.
The Foundation course is designed for newcomers to astrology. It aims to provide you with a foundation in the language of astrology and the ability to interpret a birth chart.

The following modules are included:
- Module 1: Introduction to Astrology: Planets, Signs & Houses
- Module 2: Chart Skills I

The aim of the Diploma Level One modules is to extend and deepen your interpretation skills. You will be encouraged to develop an imaginative and sensitive approach to chart interpretation and to address the ethics of good practice.
The following modules are included:
- Module 4: Time I – Transits and Solar Returns
- Module 5: Time II – Progressions and Directions
- Module 6: Intermediate Interpretation
At Diploma Level Two, we begin to broaden our vision to encompass relationships of all kinds. From interpersonal relationships to the relationship between the individual and the wider world, then preparing for professional practice through consultancy skills.
The following modules are included:
- Module 7: The Astrology of Relationship or Advanced Techniques
