What has changed for you?
Most people do not arrive looking for a course. They arrive because something has changed: a career, a role, a service career ending, or a household adapting around someone else's.
The role may change. The person underneath is still there. Every AURIS course starts from that, and the first course on each pathway is free.

How AURIS works
Start with what changed
Not with a job title or a career plan. The courses begin with the change itself, because that is what moved first.
Understand what it did
A role you held for years becomes part of how you understand yourself, so losing it is rarely only a practical problem.
Steady it, then rebuild
Regulation comes before direction. Reactions running the day make purpose very hard to find.
Make it hold
Stability is built through ordinary habits and structure, so a bad week does not undo the work.
Those four steps are the five AURIS pillars in plain English: Awareness, Understanding, Regulation, Identity and Stability.
Read about the AURIS Identity SystemCommon questions
- Are the free courses really free?
- Yes. Every course marked free is free to enrol on and stays free, and each one still carries a Certificate of Completion. There is no trial, no card and no upgrade needed to finish it.
- Which pathway should I choose?
- Choose by what has changed, not by what you want to become. If it is your work or your role, start with Life and Role Change. If you are leaving or have left a long structured career, start with After Service. If the work has ended and the purpose it carried has gone with it, start with Purpose and What Next. If the change came through someone else's role, start with Family and Belonging.
- What if my situation is not one of the five pathways?
- Then take the courses in whichever order suits you. A pathway is a suggested order rather than a requirement, every course has its own page, and the free courses are a sensible place to begin.
- How much do the paid courses cost?
- Each specialist short course is £10 on its own. The four paid courses in a pathway are £20 together, and the free course on that pathway stays free.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes, a free account, so your progress and your certificates are yours and stay where you left them. Nothing expires.
- Are the courses self-paced?
- Almost all of them are: once you enrol, every lesson is open and there is no deadline. Five-Day Reset is the exception on purpose, because each lesson opens twenty four hours after you complete the one before it.
- Is this therapy or counselling?
- No. AURIS courses are education. They are not therapy, clinical treatment or a substitute for medical or mental health care, and they make no promise about employment or recovery.
- What is the difference between a course and the Practitioner Certification?
- A course gives you a Certificate of Completion for your own learning. The AURIS Practitioner Certification is separate, professional, and assessed, and it is for people who want to work with others using the framework.
Academy courses and AURIS Membership
AURIS Academy and the AURIS Membership are two different things. The Academy is structured learning: lessons, workbooks and a Certificate of Completion for each course, bought once and yours to keep. The AURIS Membership is ongoing guided reflection, private journalling and community for £9.99 a month. You can use either on its own, and neither one includes the other.
