The 2026-27 Kairos Foundation Course will begin on Tuesday 13th October. It features:
-
40 hours of video teaching material, delivered through a series of 27 weekly lessons split over three terms.
-
30 hours of live group support sessions held on Zoom. 5 x 2-hour sessions per term.
-
Comprehensive written material for each lesson, plus extra resources.
-
Self-Study assignments for each lesson
-
Ongoing support with end of term assignments, assessed by a course tutor.
This year's course is being delivered through a series of high quality video recordings, which include comprehensive presentations from me, interspersed with chart examples. These recordings will be released weekly, and you will be able to access them all within the online classroom. You will receive an email each time they are released.
In addition to the recorded content, you are invited to attend 5 live group sessions per term, where we will review the content of the classes, address any of your questions, and apply the material from the lessons to actual birth charts. We will work with the personal charts of students during these sessions, and you can volunteer to have your own chart featured, should you desire this.
The course is supported in the background by the Kairos School support teachers: Melissa Gledhill & Tamsin St George. They will be keeping an eye on your work throughout the year, will be involved the marking of your end of term assignments and available for supplementary support, should you feel the need for this.
The 27 classes are spread over three terms. Each class is around 2hrs in duration. Ideally, you should aim to schedule the time to watch these recordings, plus another 2-4 hours per week to engage further with the material, attempt the weekly self-study assignments and attend the live zoom sessions.
Course fees include:
-
Access to 27 x 90 minute video recorded classes, run over three terms

15 x live classes (every other Tuesday at 5pm UK time)

Keri Lassalle
“John Wadsworth’s foundation course is one of the most enjoyable courses I have taken. John’s clear love and deep knowledge of astrology, the night sky, mythology and history is profoundly articulated through his poetic and graceful teaching style. A true pleasure to learn to integrate this ancient science into every day life. I could not recommend this course more.”
Alison McPherson
John is a gifted, inspirational teacher, able to convey complex material in a way that is digestible for a beginner, but with a depth of passion that ensures you will be a devotee of astrology forever. I highly recommend this course, whether you want to learn more about yourself or become a professional practising astrologer.
Franklin LaVoie
I enrolled in the Kairos School because I sensed a supportive environment in which to deepen my understanding of astrology. The course exceeded my expectations, and I can wholeheartedly recommend the Foundation Course to everyone interested in learning astrology, or sharpening and honing their skills.
Kristien de Winter
This foundation course has brought me so much more than I could have anticipated when I started this journey. I thank you all for the different ways you all embody astrology, because for me that is the most important of all.
