A good solid professional education costs money. Be wary of courses that are too cheap. Since COVID-19, the Internet has become bloated with online courses but the quality of many of those courses is alarming.
We have an ethical obligation to deliver an education that keeps our clients safe and that upholds the standard of our profession. I am concerned that many of these online courses may produce clinicians who have no practical understanding or skill in the application of art therapy.
Working as a psychotherapist is a highly skilful profession that requires a solid theoretical background married with professional guidance from an expert. This is the reason we offer on-campus Intensives (or Zoom meetings for those who cannot attend an Intensive).
Please be careful of offers for Certificate and Diploma Courses in Art Therapy that are cheap and offer no personal tuition. You get what you pay for.

Recommended Learning Pathway
While you can complete our courses online, we highly recommend taking advantage of our on-campus Intensives.
The best way to begin your art therapy adventure is with our 2-Day Introductory Intensive.
2-Day Introductory Intensive
The 2-Day Introductory Intensive is the best way to start your adventure into Art Therapy.
It provides an engaging and inspiring first taste of art therapy and is one of our most popular offerings. Along with “live” in-person teaching from Rob Gray, the learning experience is multiplied by group interaction with your fellow students. In fact, many students describe it as life-changing and career-shaping.
Our Course Bundles
While studying the Certificate and Diploma Course can be done online, the best learning pathway is to take advantage of our on-campus Intensives. After completing the online modules in your own time, attending an Intensive in an Australian city of your choice is the recommended pathway for those pursuing a comprehensive education.
10 Online Modules Plus 5-Day Intensive
5 Online Modules Plus 3-Day Intensive
Don’t live in Australia?
If you’re unable to attend the 5-Day Certificate Intensive or the 3-Day Diploma Intensive in Australia, we recommend doing the online Certificate Course or online Diploma Course and adding the applicable Video addons and/or Zoom Meeting addons (see below) to enrich your studies.
