ASKED QUESTIONS
Q - Do I need to take a
Foundation Course before I go on to the Diploma Course? I already
know a bit about astrology.
A - Already being familiar with some astrological concepts
gets you off to a flying start. But if you are planning to enrol
on our Diploma Course, we'd like you to get some important basics
in place first! You will need to understand how a birth chart is
put together, and at Diploma level we will expect you to be able
to draw charts up yourself. So if you've not already learned to
do this, we strongly recommend that you take our Foundation Module
"B" for beginners which offers a comprehensive introduction
to astrology.
Q - I already know how to draw up charts, and I've studied
astrology at classes/with another school. Can I go straight into
the Diploma Course?
A - Foundation Module "I" offers an Intermediate
course for students such as yourself. It gives an introduction to
the psychological approach of Bruno and Louise Huber and teaches
how to draw up Huber-style charts, which helps set the scene for
the Diploma Course that follows.
Q - How long will it take me to complete Foundation Module
"B"?
A - Bearing in mind that our Courses are studied on a part-time
basis, and that everyone works at their own pace, we would expect
students to reasonably complete this course within 8 months to a
year. Some do finish sooner than this though - it's up to the individual!
Q - And how long will it take me to complete Foundation
Module "I"?
A - The same principles apply - but as this is a shorter
course it could easily be completed in a few months.
Q - What about the Diploma Course - will this take longer
to complete?
A - Yes. This Course is intended to be one of in-depth study,
and as it is a part-time course, it would be reasonable to expect
it to take between 2 and up to 5 years to complete.
Q - It says in the prospectus that students following
the Diploma in Astrological Counselling Course are required to undertake
a course in basic counselling skills. What kind of course should
I take?
A - Many local authorities now offer short courses in basic
counselling skills. We suggest you choose one that you feel drawn
to. You can call Joyce Hopewell (Principal) on 01565-651131 or David
Kerr (Student Administration) on 01896-848928 for further advice
on this.
Q - Will I get a recognised qualification at the end of
my Diploma Course studies?
A - Yes. The Dip. API UK in Astrological Counselling and
the Dip. API UK in Astrology which we award are both recognised
as professional qualifications by the Association of Professional
Astrologers.
Q - I'm not ready yet to
enrol on one of your courses, but I like what you do and want to
know more. Can I still come to your workshops, and if so, how can
I receive information on these and other API UK activities?
A - Our workshops and events are open to all who are interested
in the Huber Method and Astrological Psychology. The best way to
find out more is to become a member of API UK. You will receive
details of all our events and workshops for the year plus copies
of "Conjunction", our newsletter magazine.
