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.

c) Adequate educational background and communication ability will be looked for in applicants, as well as a degree of empathy, integrity and sense of responsibility.

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
