Department of Continuing Education

Would you like to focus in on a special skill or interest? Would you like to explore an area of astrological knowledge that has eluded you so far? The continuing Education Department strives to put you in contact with highly qualified instructors that have a special interest and expertise in a specific subject without requiring commitment to a structured curriculum. No exams or previous approval is necessary to enroll in these courses. Many of these classes carry credit for graduation from the Department of Professional Training allowing for a transition from Continuing Education to Professional Training.

The Continuing Education Department is designed to evolve according to the student interest. If you have a special interest that we have not covered, let IAA know about it. IAA might just have the right instructor for you.

Some testimonials tell us about diversified learning experiences: "It's easy but very interesting, informative, and quite revealing as to how totally different cultures and astrological systems can actually be in synch."
"This approach to Astrology gives another elemental level to understanding humanity. You will have an increased knowledge of your client, lover, spouse, child, co-worker, friend, neighbor, and foe."

If you would like to find courses taught by a particular instructor, you can visit our Faculty and Staff page, then click on the name of the instructor to view the courses they are teaching.
