Online Classes allow you to engage with your tutors and classmates in a real-time, virtual classroom. Enrolment is limited in these sessions, making it possible to interact, to ask questions, to make short presentations, and to support one another. You are truly involved in an active learning environment… from the comfort of your own home. Read more about Online Classes.

What our students say...

Studying with the Faculty has given me a thorough grounding in astrology, using an approach which makes space for both technical accuracy and intuition. The inspiring tutors and extensive course material made the Faculty an obvious choice.
Lisa StockleyDiploma Holder

I started off taking classes simultaneously at three different astrology schools in London, which were all special in their own way. In the end, it was the very in-depth and methodical teaching style of the Faculty and its many incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and kind teachers that made me want to study for a Diploma here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this school!

Guna BunduleThe main value of the Faculty is its people – the tutors and the staff, who have been most supportive and inspiring. For me it is a great honour to be among the Faculty's Diploma Holders. The seven years have passed so quickly because the study process has been intense and rewarding through all the 9 modules.

Have you checked the expiry date of your module credits?

Remember that module credits expire after 6 years unless you validate them by passing the relevant exam at that level. In other words, if you have obtained all Foundation Course module credits, you will need to pass the Certificate Interpretation Exam within six years of completing Module Three
in order to validate these credits. The same system of validation applies to the intermediate and advanced levels.

If you have questions about the validation of your credits please contact Lindsay Gladstone, Head of Exams, at exams@astrology.org.uk.
