Description

c. regular Educational Announcements
d. workbooks and feedback

Completion of this course also entitles you to the Oxford Diploma (Art Therapy for Men) - full details are on the course. It need to be stressed though that this:
1. Is NOT from Oxford University (It is from the Oxford School of Learning)
2. It does NOT qualify you to be an Art Therapist
3. It is not just 'given away' you have to do some work!
The Oxford Diploma is not available from any other Instructor although several of my own courses include the Diploma (at various levels).
