Handwriting Analysis Certification Courses

Does it really pay to study handwriting analysis?

The questions foremost on prospective students' mind seem to be (1) "Will  I  be wasting my money by enrolling in a handwriting analysis course?" and (2)"Are there really opportunities for making money with handwriting analysis?"

I cannot tell you about other handwriting analysts, I can only share my own business experiences with you. And for me, the  answer is an unequivocal YES. 

I have worked as a successful professional graphologist for over 25 years. For most of these years, I had to go looking for prospective customers. But lately, there seems have been quite a happy turnaround. Companies are contacting me through my website and there are more referrals - the most effective way of getting business!

I am sharing with you just a few of the e-mails I have received during the past three months. For confidentiality reasons, I had to leave out the names, but the original letters are in my files.

1. We were referred to you by Lindsay .... with ...... Mortgage Co. Our , ...... Company, Inc., is very interested in conducting a handwriting analysis on future candidates before hiring them to work with our company. Please advise as to how we set up a contract with you for these services, or if that is the case. We would like to start this process immediately.

2. "My name is .... and I am trying to find your contact information for some people that want some handwriting analyses done. I work at .......Company, and believe you did one on me. Extremely accurate!!!"

3. "Your name was given to us by..... We are interested in using your handwriting analysis services. I am the president of a young and rapidly expanding company. The position I am hiring for is a high level executive assistant. What would be the cost?"

I received the following letter from a client in response to an analysis I had done for the company.

We also had a “fancy” evaluation done on this candidate at the recommendation of a consultant who is working with us. (The consultant does not believe in handwriting analysis! EMK) This evaluation was a 2 hour internet test that the applicant does at home.  It was similar to yours but not as detailed.  It did indicate a lack of truthfulness, but not as dramatic as yours. 
I’ll show both to Ed ..... at HR ...... when I meet with him next week.  Trying to get them to use you.  They will help us find candidates for our firm admin and we’ll be using you, of course, so they’ll also get to see your work firsthand.  

I believe these letters show that there is definitely money to be made with handwriting analysis. In fact, it's  seems the perfect time to enter the field and it's the most wonderful profession I can think of. You can work from anywhere, the work is personally satisfying and  also brings you the financial rewards. But one word of caution! You have to know what you are doing. And don't let anyone tell you that you can learn it in 10 minutes a day! You cannot! You have to REALLY KNOW GRAPHOLOGY! If you don't you will fall flat on your face. Unless you are willing to study hard and really learn the science, you might as well not even try. 

My study courses will give you the tools and the knowledge you need to become a  money- making, professional handwriting analyst. They teach you step by step how to write and present professional, marketable analyses. All you have to do make the decision to apply yourself and study hard. The rewards are great.
Do it NOW!

 

Unsolicited testimonial:
Hi, Erika I had a chance to look over the course materials and am very impressed with how well organized it is.  I am also very impressed in the amount of work and time you put into all of this.  I am happy I chose to study under you.

Study courses

IMPORTANT NOTICE! 
International course orders are only available in PDF format on a CD. Shipping costs for printed books are extremely high because only airmail shipping is available.

Dr. Karohs offers five comprehensive home study certification courses:

1. Beginner's Handwriting Analysis Diploma Course 
This course teaches 40 basic trait. Heavily illustrated with self-tests, model answers, diploma test and worksheet.
(Successful graduates will receive the diploma as "Certified Handwriting Specialist" C.H.S.")
click here

2. The completely revised and greatly enlarged
"2006 Comprehensive Course of Handwriting Analysis"

This course contains more material than other basic, intermediate and advanced courses combined.

In addition, this course gives you what you cannot find in any other course - two Guides teaching you step-by-step how to actually write marketable, general and vocational analyses.

The "2006 Comprehensive Course" comes with still more valuable additions:

The course manuals have been completely revised, enlarged, and reprinted;

"The Master's Course On Measuring and Measurements: How To Measure A Writer's Slant Perfectly Each and Every Time" has been added;

The 700+ book "Write It Faster" (traits descriptions for writing analyses) has been added to the course

A set of flash cards for 112 personality traits has been added;

A Dictionary of Personality Traits has been added (listing all basic traits in alphabetical order).

(Successful graduates receive the diploma as "Certified Handwriting Analyst C.H.A.")
click here

3. Evaluated Traits Course 
This is a one-of-a-kind advanced trait stroke course that at this time, in this format, you cannot find anywhere else.
Most handwriting analysts are familiar with basic traits. This course teaches how that secondary characteristics can be evaluated through combinations or "stacking" of basic traits. This enables analysts to get a much deeper insight into the writer's personality.

An optional computer supplement is available for $22.00.

(Successful graduates receive the diploma as Certified Handwriting Analyst, level II)
click here

4. Intermediate Handwriting Analysis Course 
This course is intended for students with some prior knowledge of handwriting analysis. It uses the integrated trait stroke/holistic approach but does not go into as much depth as the Step-By-Step System of Handwriting Analysis (SSS) course.

(Successful candidates receive the diploma as "Certified Handwriting Expert C.H.E.")
click here

5. Step-By-Step System Handwriting Analysis Course  

This is a very comprehensive, in-depth course designed for students who want to do professional analyses on a very comprehensive level .  It integrates both the trait stroke and the "gestalt" methods into one complete system.

An optional computer supplement is available that takes care of most of the tedious scoring work and also writes an analysis outline.

(Successful graduates receive the diploma as "Certified Master Handwriting Analyst C.M.H.A.")

All five handwriting analysis courses are based upon sound graphological principles. They offer you solid, no-hype information.  

These courses are taught by a practicing graphologist, not a mail order "school" that bases its lessons strictly upon hypothetical situations without direct analysis marketing experience or dollar results to back them up. Dr. Karohs works for corporate clients in several countries on a daily basic.

These courses are taught by an experienced teacher. Dr. Karohs has 24 years of college teaching experience. She has taught her handwriting analysis courses on the internet and currently has students from 22 countries enrolled in her programs.

Courses are now available on CD

The Beginner's Handwriting Analysis Diploma Course, the Comprehensive Handwriting Analysis Course, the Evaluated Traits Course and the Step-by-Step System of Handwriting Analysis Course (SSS) are now available on CD. Since this eliminates printing and most shipping costs, the are being offered at a greatly reduced price. (There are no refunds on PDF courses).

All materials are delivered up-front

Unlike with some of the other study courses, my students receive all the study materials upfront instead of one lesson at a time. 

Diplomas are free of charge

Some handwriting analysis schools charge hefty sums for their diplomas. With Dr. Karohs' courses, there is never a charge, even if you have to repeat the diploma test a second time. Grading your diploma test and issuing the diploma is part of the service she is committed to. 

 

Dear Erika,
The diploma is beautiful!  Even though it may not legally represent anything to the state, it represents a great deal to me - especially because it comes from such a conscientious, supportive, and reputable place.  That would be you.
Joni McEachran 
jlmceachran@hotmail.com



All courses come with full mail/e-mail support.

Dr. Karohs makes the following pledge to her students:

"With my corporate clients, I do my consulting strictly on a pay-for-time basis. With my handwriting analysis courses,  I am giving away e-mail consultations for FREE to make sure that students are using these incredibly comprehensive courses to their full advantage.

Students can send their course-related questions and can expect a prompt and thorough reply.

What students are saying about studying with Dr. Karohs

 

Dear Erika,
When I installed the CD you sent I realized you had included many free bonus items and even bonus courses.  Thank you so much!  I was overwhelmed.
The courses are so well written and easy to understand that I was completely surprised.  I especially like the course on measuring. 
Cyntia Ross

GadeRoss@aol.com

Your integrity and support Erika is an astounding bonus which won me over, as the many others in your testimonials. I would definitely highly recommend your course to anyone who is truly serious in pursuit of  a career in graphology.

Erika:  I just wanted to tell you, after studying this morning, that I've learned more about hw from your course in two months than from Baggett's ....... course, Sheila Lowe's course, McNichols book and all the rest combined. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
irac2@verizon.net

I do appreciate all the work you've done and the help you give us as we go through the course. I don't feel left out on a limb with questions because I know you'll answer our emails and questions promptly.
dmoon_99@yahoo.com

Erika,
I just wanted to send you a quick email and say wow! Talk about amazing. This is absolutely wonderful. The information contained in the courses, the illustrations, everything is incredible. 
Thank you for taking the time to compose this system and make it available to those curious minds who want to know. I have had a hard time putting it down.
Thank you again,

Dear Dr. Erika:
I would like to thank you for your wonderful course "Intermediate Handwriting Analysis." This course has taken me from a pedestrian handwriting analyst to that of professional. 
Respectfully yours,

Hi Erika,
I received my CD - WOW is there a LOT on there!!  :)
I immediately made a backup copy for myself and started in with the Basic course. I enjoy both having the files on the computer and on paper, it's the best of both worlds.

As you know, I have enrolled in two other graphology courses in the past and was very unhappy with the results. 

I also own many handwriting analysis books but find that none of them really teaches the materials in a easy to follow, clear and thorough way.   I am so pleased to have found you and your course material. Your writing is clear, there is no puffery to cover up a lack in knowledge, as I've seen in other's works. I thank you for being so accessible to us students and for your time and effort in developing great courses.
The trait dictionaries are amazing - these alone are just about worth the price of the entire course. The number of different ways to describe a trait, and in varying intensities, is so valuable!
Thank you! I'll let you know as I have questions.

Dear Erika, I was just working on lesson 11 of the SSS course and I have to stop and send along this compliment. I have collected and read a plethera of books on handwriting analysis (this has been an interest of mine since I was a teen) but I've never felt confident that I could do an analysis "right" because a lot of the instructions were too subjective (i.e. "hang the sample on a wall upside down and look at it from a distance then record how it makes you feel" or "no need to measure slant, with some practice you can eyeball it..."). Or worse they were vague and unclear. I've often said to myself something like, "That's an arcade? I could have sworn it was a garland. Wait a minute... do arcades only run along the top... can you have them both together... aaaaargh!" So I have to tell you that I really appreciate all the work you've put into creating volumes of examples and clear, concise, and thorough explanations. I can check and then double check. I can cross-reference to my heart's content. Your SSS course does more than educate me... it instills confidence and a much-appreciated feeling of professionalism. I just had to tell you that I really appreciate the amazing amount of work you've put into this course. 
Most Sincerely,
Francine Morrissette

Dear Erika, 
Your course is fabulous! Certainly more then I ever perceived it to be! 
Your integrity and support Erika is an astounding bonus which won me over , as the many others in your testimonials. I would definitely highly recommend your course to anyone who is truly serious in pursuit of a career in graphology.
I did take an eight week workshop in basic analysis in 1987 and found it intriguing, but was no comparison to what you offer. You haven't left one stone unturned in your material Erika, therefore I can't really think of any questions I may have for you. I would highly recommend your basic course prior to taking the SSS course as well, as a foundation to build upon even with previous knowledge in the basics. 
I truly feel this is a wise investment well spent, and menial in cost, for what you have compiled in knowledge and research. Kudos go to you Erika, and Klaas, in your passionate endeavors, and your generosity in sharing your knowledge with others!
Sincerely,
Emily Yankoski

I'm starting on the SSS course and it makes so much sense! I'm enjoying it and having trouble putting the books down when I have to go on with other daily things.
I am only beginning with my materials and already am so happy and overwhelmed at the level of depth, understanding, and generosity.
Erika, by comparison your courses do not even compare to other handwriting analysis courses! They are worth many times what you charge for them. My husband and I discussed this today - by comparison XXXXX's  (name deleted by Erika K.) entire certification course should cost $14.95.
Thank you so much and I hope to continue with questions as I move through the course. I honestly don't have any so far, not because I'm not interested or not studying but because the materials are so well laid out, there is nothing left to question so far! 

The name is in my files.

Dear Erika,
OH MY GOSH! Where has your course been all my life? Received the CD yesterday. Just today getting into it, but I must tell you it is perfect, exactly what I've been looking for.
I am so excited! 
As Always,

Erika, please use my words in your testimonials:
"You will have to search the land and seas, 
to find material like these." 

I know because that was exactly what I have been through!
Thank you.

From a recent graduate of the SSS course - 
in her own words:

Dear Erika,
I am very happy to have completed your most challenging course.  I especially
liked the fact that I received the complete course at the beginning.  Taking other courses that do not give you everything up front is a bit of a gamble that most cannot afford to loose.

We never know what life will bring our way. After receiving the first lesson or two, one might feel overwhelmed, or perhaps, a setback in life puts the course on indefinite hold;  all things that might add worry and concern over receiving what we paid for, upfront.  After all, it is no skin off of anyone's nose if you do not complete the course, you paid for the material, whether you finish or not.

It was also nice to know that the fee you charge for the course is all inclusive, that the diploma is not an extra  fee.  And what a lovely diploma, it is.  While I was not in contact with you much, it was nice to know when I did need to talk to you, you were there.  You were very quick in your grading of my work and even quicker in sending me my SSS diploma in the mail.

I shall hang my SSS diploma, proudly.

Thank you for everything, 

Cathryn Tharp Brocker

ScriptPeeker@aol.com

 

I want to share with you one of the reasons that I chose the SSS - it is because of the review from your graduates. The ones I have spoken to from various groups like Vanguard and others, have nothing but the best to say about your assistance and patience.

Dear Erika,
Just letting you know I received my materials yesterday, wow was I stunned to see all the materials!
Karen Murray
momentofthyme@email.com

 

There is such a sense of confusion when one is first getting started in graphology, and it is imperative that you learn from a highly credible source to perfect such complex study.

Erika has an excellent basic course of study, and when you have completed it, she also has a system of analysis (called the Step-By-Step) that will enable to produce what I consider to be the finest and most accurate description of the writer that has been developed to date.

KAGO2@aol.com

 

Just to let you know I am in receipt of the CD package and have been perusing the contents. Wow. I'm so impressed. I have a rudimentary understanding of graphology through prior self-study but this! 
Oh yes! Very well organized and comprehensive 
beyond my highest expectations.
I'm ready to dig in.
Molly Evans

 

Erika, 
Received your course today. Thanks. After a quick overview of the materials it was very apparent that you are the foremost person in the field of handwriting analysis.
You are the Tiger Woods of your profession.

 Dear Dr. Karohs, Your course material arrived three days ago. The material exceeds the expectations I had. The detail and comprehensive manner this course material portrays must have been a time consuming endeavour.
A super course!

I highly recommend both Erika and her materials. You will not find a more generous and dedicated teacher anywhere. I will always feel privileged and grateful to have had Erika as my mentor. Her serious students become the best! If you give her only half of what she gives you....you're on your way to becoming an excellent analyst.

Dear Erika,
You may use my E-mail to you as a testimonial with the greatest of pleasure.  Nothing has been too much trouble for you and as I have said before you have enthusiastically and spontaneously “gone the extra mile”.  There are a lot of sharks out there and it is such a pleasure to do business with a giver rather than a taker.

Attention international students

"From my correspondence with prospective students in foreign countries I know that many find it impossible to enroll in my courses due to the killer exchange rate. 
To make it easier for them to participate in my study program I am offering students from countries with poor dollar exchange rates a 20% hardship discount.
 

Important! Students are responsible themselves for requesting the international discount at the time of ordering. It will not be applied automatically.

What a former IGAS student 
writes about my courses:

Erika, I am astounded, amazed, surprised, delighted, overjoyed, in awe, shocked and delighted at the amount of beautiful material you have supplied me! What a wonderful, generous, sharing, caring and exceptional person you are! I am sad I wasted so much money on the wrong horse when in fact you deserve it. I can never thank you enough.
The bonus books are wonderful and will be such an aid to me. No old, outdated, trite, half-baked material here! Thank you dear lady!

I believe printing out my own material from the CD was a good learning and "bonding" experience for me. It took a lot of work and effort (made some mistakes and learned a lot about my computer) to get it together. Now I am very proud of the neat binders and am familiar with each one. I believe that gets me off to a good start. Not as easy as opening a ready made book but good for the student! I am ready to start learning. I have printed a good supply of forms and have all my handwriting samples at hand.

The Marketing Manual is priceless and I am enjoying the Newletters. What a neat organization you have formed! All of your students must adore you. 

You will hear from me when I complete my first lesson. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

I am sorry for anyone who has lost money, however, I really feel that in the long run, fate has smiled upon us! Actually I have saved money and so will other students by switching to your course.
