London Classes

London Classes

Studying our programmes in Central London gives you the opportunity to meet like-minded people and enjoy the stimulation of learning within a group. With all of our modules available as weekend seminars, you don’t have to live in London to take advantage of live tuition. Modules for the Foundation Level and Diploma Levels run concurrently each year, making it easy to enrol in a suitable class to match your sequence of learning. Read more about London Classes.

Online Classes

Online Classes

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...

The Distance Learning option was a perfect solution for me. There could not have been a better way for me to learn astrology in a thorough and enjoyable way. I am grateful and proud to call myself a Diploma holder.

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.
