What Is the Tarot Advisor Certification at Biddy Tarot?
The Tarot Advisor Certification is Biddy Tarot's certification program for readers who want to turn tarot into a profession rather than a hobby. According to the site, it's designed to build "the confidence, practical skills, and professional credibility to become the Tarot Advisor people trust." It suits you if you already read tarot and want to serve clients or build a business around it — not if you're looking for a first introduction to the cards.
What the program is
Biddy Tarot describes itself as an online tarot education source, and the certification sits at the top of its learning path. The site frames it as "the new and evolved Tarot Advisor Certification," an update to the company's earlier certification program. Founder Brigit states her mission has been, for more than twenty-five years, "to make Tarot accessible, intuitive, and empowering for everyone."
Three stated outcomes define the offer:
- Confidence — reading for others without second-guessing yourself
- Practical skills — the mechanics of professional readings
- Professional credibility — positioning yourself as an advisor clients trust
Who it's for
The site organizes its audience into three starting points, which map cleanly onto who should and shouldn't enroll:
| Starting point | What it covers | Fit with certification |
|---|---|---|
| Learn the Tarot Basics | What tarot is, how it works, expanding your knowledge | Too early — build fundamentals first |
| Read Tarot For Yourself & Others | Tips for reading with confidence, next steps | Reasonable entry point if you already read for others |
| Grow Your Intuitive Business | Creating an online tarot business | Direct fit — this is the certification's territory |
If you're in the first group, the certification is likely premature. If you're in the second or third, the program is aimed at you.
What it prepares you for
The certification's premise is professional practice, and the site's own content points to the skills that matter:
- Reading for paying clients. The podcast episode "Why Your Tarot Readings Are Worth More Than You Think" addresses the question of why someone would pay for a human reading when AI can generate one in seconds and card meanings are free everywhere. That's the pricing and value conversation a working advisor needs to have.
- Standing out from convincing fakes. Episode 7, "The Rise of the Trusted Tarot Advisor," argues readers are at a turning point: "the gap between a genuine reader and a convincing fake is becoming" the differentiator. The certification's credibility framing responds directly to that.
- Building a business. The "Grow Your Intuitive Business" track covers creating an online tarot business, which is the commercial side of being an advisor.
How to decide
Ask yourself three questions:
- Do you already read for other people? If not, start with the basics track. The certification assumes you can read.
- Do you want clients, or just deeper personal practice? The certification is built around professional credibility. For personal growth alone, the free card meanings and blog spreads on the site are a better match.
- Do you need the credential, or just the skills? The site emphasizes "professional credibility" as an outcome — useful if you plan to market yourself as a certified advisor.
The site lists enrollment as open ("DOORS NOW OPEN!") but doesn't publish pricing, curriculum length, or prerequisites in the material available here. Check the certification page directly for current cost, format, and enrollment windows before committing.
