of the most frequent topics of questions
to ATA is Tarot certification.

The Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary defines the word “certify”
as “to attest as being true or as
represented or as meeting a standard.” Thus, Tarot certification is proof that you have

No, Tarot certification
is entirely optional.
Why should
I get Tarot certified?
Being Tarot certified can reassure
your clients that you’re a professional
Tarot card reader, and that you have the skills needed
for the job. Even if you never plan on Tarot card reading
for anyone but yourself, Tarot card reading certification
can serve as a way to measure your Tarot progress.

get Tarot certified?
In general, you will need
to pay a fee and pass some sort of Tarot card reading proficiency
test. You may be asked to provide written
proof of your Tarot skills, or to perform Tarot card readings
and answer Tarot questions over the phone or in
