For those wishing to become professional counseling astrologers, the curriculum below also covers much of the material required for certification with NCGR, the National Council for Geocosmic Research.

Level I is designed for beginners and anyone wishing to strengthen their understanding of the basic chart components, and to synthesize and interpret them in a meaningful way.
