Classes and Seminars at both Foundation and Diploma level are held in Covent Garden in central London. Many students choose to study at live classes because it offers the opportunity to meet like-minded people and to learn from the experiences and examples of other students. 

  With all of our modules available as weekend seminars, you don’t have to live in London to take advantage of live tuition. Each year there is a choice of two Foundation classes beginning in October (Monday evenings or Saturdays), and a full range of Diploma courses and seminars on offer, enabling you to complete the entire course, from beginner to advanced, in three years. In addition to the class tuition and the full support of your tutor, you will receive written course material which summarises the work covered in class and allows you to consolidate your understanding of each subject as you progress.

Even if you are not a registered Faculty student, you are still very welcome to enrol on any of the Diploma modules and seminars at any time. Some of the courses are available in the form of one- or two-day seminars and are an ideal way to learn a new technique or practice your chart interpretation without committing yourself to the Diploma. In addition, all the seminars are credit-bearing, enabling you to store credits towards a qualification if you decide at a later date that you wish to gain the Faculty’s Diploma.

Some Testimonials from Class Students

• I have thoroughly enjoyed the module and it more than fullfilled my expectations. The tuition was excellent - insightful, encouraging and knowledgeable - an inspiration to the class. Paul Bland - Module 1, Foundation Course

• The module exceeded my expectations – the standard of tuition was very high. Caroline Hale - Module 1, Foundation Course

• I have enjoyed the module - it has been an excellent introduction into the basics of astrology and has helped to bring together what knowledge I already had, and built upon it. The tutor was excellent - articulate and expressive, clearly passionate and knowledgeable about astrology, and both friendly and approachable. I look forward to studying the rest of the Certificate course. Rowan - Module 1, Foundation Course

• Looking at the cycles of transits was a revelation - I have worked with transits more than anything else but hadn't gone through the cycles of each planet so methodically before and learned how important it is to do that! I liked the way we had the chance to do personal presentations on cycles, as we could hear from different people how they were working, and the tutors were really supportive and encouraging. Sue Morris - Module 4, Diploma Course

• I was very happy with the tuition. Topics were explained clearly and in depth, and I could follow the classes easily even though I was completely unfamiliar with the subject. I really enjoyed it and would like to thank the tutors for their help and lucid teaching. Deborah Morgan - Module 8, Diploma Course
