Informational

It was concise and informative, but surface level. Since it was introductory, that is understandable. But I wouldn't describe it as a course.

This was very basic. Not it a bad way but I wish there was a bit more depth or perhaps a list of books we can r reference.

Very Informative and practical tips for sucess

I unknowingly completed this course before completing the actual art therapy course thinking that I am supposed to do this first. I was very impressed with the high level of industry required information that is provided to assist new therapists in their sucessful entry into the field. As I went through it all it inspired me more about the benefits and increased need for art therapists.

A Clear and Informative Guide for Aspiring Art Therapists

This guide provides a well-structured overview of the path to becoming an art therapist. It covers key aspects such as required education, certification processes, and essential skills for the profession. The content is clear and practical, making it a great resource for beginners exploring this career path. However, I would benefit more if a pathway in Europe could be added.
