A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE CERTICATION PROGRAM

If you are interested in achieving the Professional Certification from NCGR, you are invited to become involved with this education program.

This program consists of four levels of study and examination. A comprehensive study for all levels is available from John Marchesella. (See section on “Study Guides.”)

At the completion of each level, the student receives a Certificate for Proficiency for that particular level.

Level I – Calculation and interpretation of natal charts, some simple astronomy, and basic astrological information.

Level II – Calculation and interpretations of transits, progressions and solar arc directions; additional astronomical questions and further general information.

Level III – The proctored portion of the exam covers chart comparison and composite charts, electional and horary techniques, the history of astrology, and some Vedic, Chinese and Mesoamerican astrology. A take-home section includes essays on electional astrology and the mundane astrology of a historical event.

Level IV – Rectification (take-home section) followed by a taped reading of selected chart for certification as a consulting astrologer; or you may choose the instructional track or the research track for certification.

Each student may take each level as many times as needed to obtain a passing mark, but all students must begin with the first level and follow in order of exams.

Exams are held three times a year (summer, autumn and winter). Fees range from $45 to $435, depending on level and membership. Register is required in advance by mail application. Call John Marchesella for information: 212/255-8497.

The next exam is scheduled for SUNDAY, JULY 6th , at 1 P.M. with a necessary pre-registration date of JUNE 26th.
