Department of Preliminary Education

Department of Preliminary Education

Are you new to astrology? Have you discovered that there is more to astrology than the Sun-sign column? Do you believe in astrology and would you like to expand your knowledge and ability to understand a chart?

The Department of Preliminary Education has been established for you. It is an independent section of the campus. These classes are created by Jackie Goldstein. OCA is very proud to have the veteran astrology instructor Jackie Goldstein on its staff. She has successfully taught many beginning students in various on-line forums. Her classes present the basics of astrology to the new student, and are the prefect platfrom/introduction for OCA's Professional Training Department

Here are some of the things Jackie's students have said...
"...if you did not know anything about Astrology take the 001 and 002 because it would introduce the concepts in a simple format."
"I would recommend both Basic 001 and 002 to a beginner wanting to learn Astrology. Then, I would recommend building on this with the Natal Studies Module."
"Very informative and fun course that is not too difficult."

In addition to our regular class offerings, the Department of Preliminary Education has developed two independent-study programs, through which you can learn the basics of astrology at your own pace. You can find out more about these "QuickStart" programs at our self-study programs page.

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.
