Faculty Council
Our Council are a small team, working to ensure that the Faculty runs smoothly in pursuit of its teaching objectives and in compliance with its Articles of Association.
The Faculty of Astrological Studies is run by its Council, a small team of people working closely together to ensure that the Faculty runs smoothly in pursuit of its teaching objectives and in compliance with its Articles of Association.
We believe that an astrological school benefits from being run by a team. This ensures that the astrology we teach, and the standards we aim for, represent more than just one person’s point of view. For instance our course material, created by a variety of our tutors and benefits from the input of the Council, most of whom also hold further qualifications in a range of relevant subjects, possessing between them a broad range of experience.
All Council roles are voluntary, unpaid positions – the Faculty is a not-for-profit organisation and all your fees go towards your tuition, course material and other services of direct benefit to our students.
Council Members or, more officially, Councillors, have to be Faculty Diploma holders. All Councillors are also tutors and examiners and are actively involved in the Faculty’s educational work.
As well as attending three Council meetings per year, all Councillors participate regularly in the Faculty’s Education Committee to focus on educational matters. This ensures that our courses and exams are kept fresh and up-to-date, giving our students the very best astrological education. The Education Committee actively takes student feedback into account in the development of the courses, so that they can continually be improved.
