What This Course Does NOT Offer:
This course does not make you a licensed art therapist or provide professional certification. There is NOCOURSEONUDEMY that does this.
It is not affiliated with the University of Oxford. The Diploma is awarded by a tutorial college in Oxford and reflects your personal achievement.
This course does not substitute professional art therapy or clinical training. It is designed for personal development and creative exploration.
About the Instructor:
The instructor is not a licensed art therapist but has studied art therapy deeply and created this course based on extensive research and practical experience. He is, however, an experienced teacher having taught thousands of hours in real life and been featured on television and in newspapers and the BBC website.
Accreditation:
The Diploma is accredited internally by the tutorial college (Oxford School of Learning) or the Udemy platform, (Completion Certificate) but this is not a professional accreditation in art therapy.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is ideal for:
Individuals seeking personal growth through creative practices.
Parents, educators, and caregivers who want to explore art therapy techniques for children and adults.
Anyone interested in learning art therapy-inspired exercises for emotional expression and self-discovery.
Students of any discipline who welcome a course that they can become fully involved in rather than passively watch lectures and wish that someone posted in the Q/A !
What is the Oxford Diploma of Achievement?
The Oxford Diploma of Achievement is a recognition of your dedication to this extensive course. It is not associated with the University of Oxford. To earn this diploma, you will need to complete the majority of the 700 exercises included in the course. This diploma is a personal achievement award and does not qualify you to practice as a professional art therapist.

Art Therapy and YOU!
There are many more topics plus 15 manuals and over 700 Art Therapy Exercises.
But more important is the theme of the course and it is one of going on a journey, a journey of self healing and self exploration. On the way you'll learn a lot about how you can help others - but you will learn even more about yourself.
You will also - of course - learn a lot about Art Therapy. This learning will be by DOING. Involving yourself in discussions. Sharing artwork. Sharing analysis. Reflecting. Applying.
Just as an example, in the section on CHILDREN there are lectures and Case Studies on:
Abuse and Neglect Traumas
Anxiety
Attachment Issues
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Behavioural Disorders
Chronic Illness
Communication Disorders
Depression
Eating Disorders
Emotional Dysregulation
Family and Relationship Conflicts
Grief and Loss
Identity and Self-esteem
Learning Disabilities
Phobias
Physical Disabilities
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Social Withdrawal
Substance Abuse and Addictions
The Q/A section
This is integral to this course. Over SIX THOUSAND posts and discussions. Thousands of pieces of artwork, responses to case studies, manuals and Educational Announcements.
The Q/A section is where students come and post homework, ask and answer questions, comment on artwork and interpretations, explore ideas, reference further studies, relevant film clips and websites and books. It is where the 'global classroom' comes together.
You can often assess how active a course is, how involved the students are, by the activity levels in the Q/A. Look at any course you are now on. Is the Instructor very involved? Are students involved enough to share their work, to respond to the tasks given, to have a go at workbooks, to deal with daily/weekly/monthly exercises, to discuss Case Studies?
Doing so takes time - time from students and also the Instructor.
There are 6,000 posts in the Q/A for this course.
Six thousand.
That is how involved students are on this course. Students want to share, want to comment on artwork, want feedback and want guidance on their journey of self-healing.
So really it all comes down to one question:
Do you want a long, detailed course where there is a high level of Instructor interaction, lectures are added to (there are 780+ already) there are numerous manuals and the Q/A is very very active?
If 'yes' - then enrol on that (long) journey of self-healing, to share ideas and progress, to encourage and be encouraged, to learn numerous techniques, to be kept up to date via Educational Announcements and to go slowly as you evolve - then this really IS the course for you.
If however, you just want a short course that you just sit back and watch without any involvement, any work, any interaction with Instructor or thousands of other students - then this course most definitely is NOT for you.
And you are not for this course.
I do hope you decide this course IS for you and you enrol. Please remember to watch the Preview videos.
Thank you .
