What Will You Learn?

This Tarot Diploma Course is perfect for those passionate about divination and fortune telling. You’ll start with the foundations, like choosing your deck and understanding how to pull tarot cards, then gradually move into more advanced topics, including spreads, symbolism, timing, and how tarot connects with astrology and other systems. Along the way, you’ll build real confidence in your reading skills and explore how tarot can support personal growth and spiritual insight (or even the beginnings of a tarot business!)

The content for this tarot reading course is divided into two main sections. In the first, you’ll cover how to choose a tarot deck and connect with your cards, before progressing to giving your first readings. You’ll be encouraged to start practising early, with simple exercises to build confidence. When you need help interpreting a card, the second section offers a quick-reference guide to meanings you can refrerence to any time.

Deepen Your Knowledge of Tarot

As your confidence grows, you’ll start exploring more advanced ideas. You’ll learn how to work with timing and how to read the symbolism within each card. This online tarot course also teaches you how tarot connects to other systems like astrology, numerology, and the Kabbalah, helping you build a stronger understanding.

You’ll learn how to:

Choose and read from different spread styles
Work with timing in readings
Read intuitively through symbolism and card energy
Link tarot with other spiritual tools

This section also gives you a fascinating breakdown of the Major and Minor Arcana, including the suits of Cups, Wands, Swords, and Coins.

Learn Through Practice

There are short quizzes throughout this course to help you stay on track and reinforce what you’ve learned. There are also end-of-chapter assessments which will lead towards your certification.

Build Confidence and Find Your Reading Style

The best way to learn tarot card reading is to do it as often as possible. This course encourages you to begin with self-readings and then gradually read for others as your confidence grows.

Practise with friends or family at your own pace
Refer to the guidebook while you're still learning—it’s completely fine
