a 6-day training course run over several months has now been completed in 2011 and is not yet planned for the future.

There will be two one-day workshops given on this topic in Auckland (11th February) and Wellington (16th February) when Faye is in New Zealand in 2012.

Achieve the results of a career counsellor and expand your own prospects as an astrologer.

Offered for the first time in the UK, this course of six workshops ,led by Faye Cossar, will help you gain insights into the steps and techniques that a career counsellor uses in order to create a vocational profile. You will learn how to use the birth chart to achieve this. This apprenticeship is structured to provide you with a new range of services to enable longer-term and deeper work with clients.

Who is this training course for? Anyone who is interested in addressing career/vocation issues with clients, and those with an interest in gaining astrological and counselling insights in this area.

Addressing Client Needs

• "I need to feel passionate about my work"
• "Now there’s lots of uncertainty, I feel at a crossroads. What are my choices?"
• "I still doubt my ability. Should I change course? When’s the best time to do so?"

Clients often consult astrologers when they’re at a crossroads in their jobs. Perhaps they’ve been dissatisfied with work, or they’ve been fired, made redundant or feel that it’s too late to start over. With this course, by using vocational profiling and key parts of the horoscope, you’ll learn how to help clients discover the types of work that suit them, and uncover and define their blocks to achieving their goals. During this training, you’ll also pinpoint your own style, strengths and talents.

You’ll work with various professional career counselling exercises and learn to use the horoscope to:

• Build a C.V. and career profile
• Spot profession, life mission, motivations and realistic aims
• Identify talents, personal styles, image, goals, norms and values
• Address the ideal working environment and colleagues/bosses
• Take your knowledge further with clients

At the end of this course you will have gained...

 * Insights into vocational profiling
 * Ways to use astrology for career guidance for you and clients
 * On-going supervision/feedback
 * Assignments and a vocational astrology manual written by Faye Cossar (and others) 

 You will need: 
 to have a basic knowledge of astrology and some experience reading charts. Before the course, you will be sent a short assignment. You will also need to find your own client to work with for the duration of the course and obtain permission to use their details in the workshops. After attending the sessions, completing assignments and doing a short presentation, you will be awarded a completion certificate in Vocational Astrology.

What do past graduates say?
"After I followed this training, I finally dared to work with clients. This approach offers a very clear structure."
"Looking back on this training, I realise it formed the basis of my successful career as a vocational supporter."
"This gave me many new insights into astrology that say so much about the clients and their career potential."
