a) A sound basic knowledge of the meaning of the signs, planets, houses, aspects,
transits and progressions, equal to Certificate Level of the Faculty of Astrology
Studies course. The Centre itself offers an introductory course in its public
programme, takes the student to the required level of knowledge.

Individual
Therapy
In order to complete the In-Depth Professional
Training, the Centre asks that all students, for a minimum
of one year of study, be involved in a recognised form of
depth psychotherapy with a therapist, analyst or counsellor
of his or her choice. The fee for the Centre’s training
does not include the cost of this therapy, which must be
borne by the student himself/herself.
The rationale behind
this requirement is that we believe no responsible counsellor
of any persuasion can hope to deal sensitively and wisely
with another person’s psyche without some experience
of his or her own. Although it is the student’s responsibility
to arrange for this therapy, the Centre can refer students
to various psychotherapeutic organisations, if desired
