What is a Kepler College Certificate?
An excellent way for students to elevate their Astrological toolkit, certificates are issued to recognize that students have delved into an area of study with more depth than a single course can offer.
Every certificate at Kepler College is designed as a practicum, allowing students to test their skills and receive immediate feedback as they increase their knowledge.
Certificates have been created by grouping the necessary skills to become an expert in an area of study. Kepler College Certificate Programs include “bundled” classes, courses offered at a special rate when purchased together.
Why should I consider a Kepler College certificate?
If you seek further studies, such as the Diploma Program at Kepler College, you will typically begin with a certificate such as Natal Fundamentals. Additionally, if you are interested in gaining Astrology expertise in specific areas of study, you can pursue certificates such as:
- Alternate Traditions
- Astro Mapping
- Relationships and Counseling
Upon earning your first two certificates covering the fundamentals, you will better know where to focus your continued Astrological learning. We hope you’ll join the many students who have completed the certificate courses needed to earn their Diploma or Advanced Diploma at Kepler College!
