Question 1

Do I need any prior experience with tarot?

Accepted Answer

None at all. Tarot Academy is built for everyone, from someone who has never held a deck to someone who has been reading professionally for years. The curriculum starts from first principles and builds into territory that will challenge even experienced students. Wherever you're starting from, you'll be met there.

Question 2

How is the course delivered?

Accepted Answer

Tarot Academy is entirely online and video-based. All course material lives on a dedicated page on the Tarot Academy website, accessible from any device. There are no live sessions and no set schedule. You move through the curriculum entirely at your own pace. If the course is ever updated or expanded, that content is yours automatically at no extra cost.

Question 3

How long will it take to complete?

Accepted Answer

That depends on you and how deeply you want to go. The core curriculum is 37+ hours of instruction, and most students move through it in 8 to 12 weeks studying a few hours per week. But tarot is a practice, not just a subject. Many students find themselves revisiting lessons as their understanding deepens. There's no deadline, and the course is yours for life.

Question 4

Who is this course for?

Accepted Answer

Tarot Academy was built for everyone: the complete beginner who has always been curious but never known where to start; the experienced reader who wants to go deeper than other courses have taken them; the spiritual seeker who reads for themselves and wants a richer relationship with the cards; and the aspiring professional who wants to build a tarot practice that lasts. Wherever you are in your journey, the curriculum was created to meet you there and take you further.

Question 5

What do I need to take this course?

Accepted Answer

A device with an internet connection and a Rider Waite Smith tarot deck without annotations. The RWS is the most widely studied deck and the one the curriculum is built around. If you already own a different deck, you can still take the course, but the RWS is strongly recommended as your primary learning deck.
