PLUS when you complete the course you may be eligible for the OXFORD DIPLOMA.
The Oxford Diploma is available - but it has to be earned - if you satisfy the following criteria:
1. Do all the Art Therapy exercises in this TWENTY-TWO HOUR course
2. Participate (or start) in discussions - especially the Case Study based ones
3. Complete an Extended Essay
This way the Diploma is meaningful - just as art is!
This is a course in three main parts:
a. Coping strategies for use with children - or by children on their own. Ideally you'll sit round with 'the family' and watch, reflect, discuss and implement. Of especial interest are the lectures on Emotions and the numerous art therapy exercises. (Child Psychology)
b. Art Therapy exercises to use with the family - why not all try them? Post your results (remember, it is the process that counts) in the Q/A. The more you participate the more you will gain from the course. (Child Psychology)
c. Your family; Art therapy and Joy, Spring and Reflection. Do the exercises together; discuss and then implement everyone's ideas! Bring everyone together! (Child Psychology)
This is a very practical course. ideally the whole family will sit round the monitor and watch the lectures, then try out the many many exercises...for the benefit of all.
A very heavy emphasis is put on participation, the sharing of ideas. Other Art Therapy courses of mine have hundreds of discussions as that really, is how to learn and progress. Hopefully this course too, will have such discussions - they will certainly be encouraged.
The course is 22 hours. Maybe that seems a lot, so organise your study time carefully - perhaps week-ends after dinner?
Share the involvement.

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.

Oxford School of Learning was set up in 1986. It became a limited company which was then closed down around 2018 as there was no need to keep it going. The School kept going though, writing/providing books, online courses and issuing the Oxford School of Learning Diploma to those who met difficult criteria.
As the name suggests, Oxford School of Learning is based in Oxford, UK. The original Principal was Chris Sivewright who now delivers various Economics and Business courses for us.
