Our courses have been carefully structured to provide tuition for all students of astrology, regardless of whether they are approaching the subject for the first time, are practising astrologers seeking an alternative approach or are searching for a new dimension to their own life. Students work at home, at their own pace, with supervision and guidance from their own qualified tutor. The seminar workshops which form an integral part of our astrological counselling course are open to all students.

We offer three Foundation Modules catering for different needs:

Beginners Module for those who are new to astrology, providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject.

Intermediate Module, for students who are already familiar with astrology but who need an introduction to the psychological approach of Bruno and Louise Huber.

Specialist Calculations Module for students who want to learn how to set up and draw a natal chart from scratch.

Our Modular Diploma Course teaches the techniques of the Hubers’ psychological approach to chart interpretation for working with clients. Its eight Modules are interlinked. Modules can also be taken separately, but the Core Module must be taken first.

For many years there has been a dramatic growth of interest in the serious application of astrology, as opposed to the popular ‘Sun Sign’ astrology. This has been particularly so in in the use of the birth chart as a psychological tool to help towards developing greater conscious awareness, recognising individual potential and encouraging self-expression. Our belief is that everyone is a unique human being and that as astrologers we can respect and recognise that uniqueness. We aim to learn to see the birth chart in the context of the individual rather than attempt to make the individual fit the chart.

Our experience, since API UK enrolled its first student in 1985, has shown that many of our Diploma students not only learn astrology, chart interpretation and counselling skills but also find that the course provides a valuable opportunity for increased self-understanding and personal growth. The techniques of the Huber Method unite growth psychology with astrology, selectively combining traditional astrological understanding with modern psychological knowledge. Acquiring an in-depth understanding of the birth chart and its interpretation requires a big personal commitment and our tutors are dedicated to give students every support they can in this learning experience. Our hope is that each student will get from this experience what he or she needs for their own personal development.

API UK has no set exams. Assessment is on a continuous basis throughout and we look for a high standard of competence from our students. Our Beginner, Intermediate and Diploma Courses are all registered with the Advisory Panel on Astrological Education (APAE) and have been approved by them as meeting the standards required for a Course in Astrology. Our Diploma Course is approved and recognised as offering a professional qualification by the Association of Professional Astrologers.
We hope that we shall have the pleasure of welcoming you as one of our students.
