Look what our students are saying
"Being one of your latest graduates, my heart felt it necessary to write to you. For it has been a long time since I have had so much fun studying and taking exams under pressure. The course material is exhaustive and the knowledge gained is limited only by the student's ability to retain, assimilate and practice.
A very comforting point is the ability to take the exams at our preferred locations and times. Having two boisterous daughters, most of my exams were taken post midnight when everyone was asleep.
Thank you for the excellent course and material. The structured approach helps graduates to choose between either a research orientation or a commercial outlook as a career.
Rest assured, I have every intention of pursuing graphology as a field of learning. Being an HR and Finance person myself, this will help me go a long way.
Thank you for the course and thank you for reading.

The Four Handwriting Analysis Courses Are Based Upon Sound Graphological Principles
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 basis.
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, they are being offered at a greatly reduced price. (There are no refunds on PDF courses).
All Materials Are Delivered Up-Front
Unlike some of the other study courses, my students receive all the study materials up front instead of one lesson at a time.
Until further notice no printed items will be available. All orders will be fulfilled in PDF only.
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. Please note:
Important! ISHA is not an accredited school and since there currently exists no official licensing agency for graphology in the USA, diplomas are not officially accredited. The diplomas issued by ISHA certify that graduates have successfully completed one of ISHA's study courses and have complied with all the requirements for the completion of course.
Because Dr. Karohs is recognized as a one of the world's foremost graphologists and her courses are unquestionably unmatched by other courses currently available, diplomas issued by ISHA and graduates trained by Dr. Karohs are highly esteemed both in the graphological and corporate world.

1. Beginners 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 a "Certificate of Completion".)
2. The Comprehensive Handwriting Analysis Diploma Course
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 Modules teaching you step-by-step how to actually write marketable, general and vocational analyses.
The "Comprehensive Course" comes with still more valuable additions:
The course manuals have been completely revised, enlarged, and reprinted
It includes a special Module on Measuring: "The Master's Course On Measuring and Measurements: How To Measure A Writer's Slant Perfectly Each and Every Time"
FREE GIFT: A set of flash cards for 112 personality traits
FREE Gift: Marketing Manual: Making Your Handwriting Sell, the Handwriting Analysts' Profit Guide in the Internet Age .

3. Evaluated Traits Course In Handwriting Analysis
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.
(Successful graduates receive the diploma as Certified Handwriting Analyst, level II)
4. 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.
A Message from Dr. Karohs
Two of the most frequent questions we receive are:
(1) What are the uses of handwriting analysis?
(2) How is Handwriting analysis going to help me personally?
I would like to answer these questions for all potential and current students based upon my experience as a teacher and practicing, very successful graphologist.
1. What are the uses of handwriting analysis?
Handwriting Analysis is used by teachers, by members of law enforcement, by counselors, but most importantly by corporations and businesses to analyze candidates for hiring, for promotions, or for worker compatibility.
Graphologists work as consultants to such businesses. I can personally avow that this is a most wonderfully satisfying occupation because, using a laptop, one can work from nearly anywhere. Every summer I fly to Germany. I work in the airport lounge, on the plane, and at the hotel, while clients never realize that I am not at my office.
But there are prerequisites. Unless you observe them, your chances of making it in handwriting analysis are very slim:
(a) Comprehensive training with a reputable teacher/school is a MUST!
A "10-minutes-a-day" study course does not suffice. While snooping into the sexual inclinations of the writer may seem interesting, it would train you merely for parlor games. Courses taught by “teachers” lacking substance, experience, sincerity, and who use every con artist trick to make a buck for themselves, are simply a waste of your money.
To work as professional, you must learn the science from a reputable teacher with proven practical experience. Some hypothetical lessons with make-believe cases will not suffice.
(b) You must be able to write analyses fast and accurately.
Most so-called graphology schools teach students how to identify basic traits and offer a few meager trait descriptions. I don't know of any school, aside from ISHA, that actually teaches how to combine traits into meaningful analyses. But, unless you can write analyses quickly, accurately, you are not going to make it in the field.
Day in, day out, my day starts with downloading handwriting samples that come to me via e-mails. Within 72 hours, analyses are returned to the clients. (unless we agree on a longer turn-around time, like when a client requests 2000 Profile analyses - true case!).
To get to this point, you must write as many analyses as you can. Practice, practice, practice. Just completing the diploma test analysis is not enough. It is just like learning every other skill. It's painfully slow in the beginning; you may get frustrated about the scoring and the measuring and having to look up the meaning of traits. But the more you write, the faster it gets. Before you know, your speed will increase, and you will actually enjoy doing the job.
Right now, you may be asking yourself - but where do I find clients to write all these analyses for? In the beginning, you will have to be enterprising to find one or two companies. That’s all. After that, it’s strictly word-of-mouth. For years now, new clients have come to me only through referrals. I no longer even have a “services” website. I took it down.
Below is the letter from a recent ISHA graduate “Frik” from South Africa, who successfully started his own graphology business:
Dear Erika:
I have received my diploma and certificate in perfect order. I am truly proud of this qualification. Below is the kind of feedback I am getting in my new business.
“Hello Frik:
This analysis was way beyond my expectations and extremely accurate, and I am extremely thankful to you for your effort and professionalism. If you let me have the link to your website, I will make every effort to market your handwriting analysis. My wife is employed as the HR Manager at …. and she has indicated a keen interest in looking into this as an integral part of their employment process.”
Warm regards,

2. How is Handwriting analysis going to help me personally?
With handwriting analysis you will gain a deeper perception of who you are as an individual. You will learn to understand yourself, your strengths, your talents, and you hidden fears.
You will learn to understand others, how they think and feel, what pleases and what offends them. With handwriting analysis you will learn to "know thyself" as well as to get along better with other people, at home, with your friends, or in business.
Kind regards and much success to all of you!
