Flamel College is the largest Hermetic education portal on the Internet and is open to anyone seeking instruction and certification in the Hermetic Sciences and Esoteric Arts. Founded in 1968 in Vienna, Austria, the college began as regular meetings of European alchemists studying in the tradition of Nicolas Flamel. Those informal meetings gradually grew into an international college with students and instructors in over twenty-five countries. The college has been offering correspondence courses since 1994.
CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
EXPEDITED EXAM RESULTS. The most frequent complaint of students is the long time to grade exams. This was because exams must be forwarded to our instructors, who are located around the world. Effective August 1, 2008, we initiated our expedited exam grading system in which all exams submitted by email will be turned-around in just a few days. If your instructor is not available to grade your exam immediately, it will be sent to a panel of qualified instructors for fast processing, usually within 48 hours. Please note that exams submitted by mail or fax will still take 3-6 weeks.
-
All EXAM SUBMISSIONS should be sent to exams@comcast.net. Exams submitted to this email address will be automatically logged, copied, and emailed to instructors for the fastest turn-around time. Do not submit exams more than once.
-
COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS. Flamel College receives thousands of emails a week and has a sophisticated firewall, spam filter, and virus protection system. If you send multiple emails with similar content to our URL, your emails will automatically be junked as spam. When you send us email, you will be sent a follow-up email from SpamArrest. You MUST respond to this confirmation email or your original email will not get through to us.

The STUDENT FORUMS have been moved to Yahoo Groups. After seven years of running our own software, we feel that the new moderated venue will be the most reliable since Yahoo has very sophisticated security. The new forums are located at:

Instruction in the Esoteric Arts and Hermetic Sciences
Flamel College is dedicated to the ancient tradition of personalized teaching that uses both intuitive and intellectual tools. The primary difference between Flamel College and other schools is that we offer an unconventional curriculum designed to allow students to grow spiritually in addition to learning practical techniques in their chosen disciplines. Our chartered goal is that no one graduate from Flamel College who has not experienced personal gnosis and inner transformation in addition to possessing the technical skills and factual knowledge demanded of their field of study. For that reason, much of our coursework involves meditation, self-reflection, environmental wisdom, transpersonal connections, oral initiation, and other methods of learning not recognized by modern universities that emphasize memorization and personal politics in completing one's education.
Students may enroll in any of our Individual Classes or choose to enroll in one of our structured Study Programs to receive certificates and diplomas in a variety of disciplines. There are also Free Online Classes available. Credit for classes is earned through correspondence or online study. You submit exams and communicate with your instructor through email or regular mail. Check the Class Catalog for specific information on individual courses.
Flamel College is a unique resource offering hundreds of courses by correspondence and online. Successful completion of any of these diverse classes counts towards graduation credit in Flamel College diploma and certification programs. The college is an alternative school offering classes not taught in traditional colleges and that do not fit into conventional curriculums, and therefore our courses do not carry transfer credit to most other institutions. However, all our classes are certified by the governing bodies of recognized and reputable Hermetic and esoteric organizations.
For answer to specific questions, please go to the Student FAQ. New students also should read the Student Orientation page. There are also forums and chat rooms where students can ask questions on course material. If you currently teach Hermetic or esoteric subjects and would like to be considered as a paid instructor at Flamel College, please visit the Instructor FAQ.
