The Advanced Diploma Course
The Cambridge School of Graphology offers an advanced handwriting analysis course that will provide you with a professional qualification in graphology.
From the Advanced Diploma course you will learn how to produce an in-depth and comprehensive analysis from any individual’s handwriting, whether it is written in English or any other language. The basics remain the same.
This course is distinctive in that it incorporates the principles of both Trait Stroke and Gestaltist schools of thought. By combining the two schools, you will gain a richer and more detailed awareness of how to create the portrait of the writer.
As a student you do not need to have any previous qualifications before you start on this voyage of discovery.
The course consists of 30 lessons plus the final examination
