I initially thought it was gonna have videos to watch from instead of reading long modules. Personally, I don't learn much from just reading modules to retain information as I am a visual learner. But it wasn't really terrible though it did get boring at times.
I understand that this is basically an introductory course, and so there are going to be various methods and techniques that it doesn't cover in depth. But I do wish it went into more specific techniques. Also, when I started the course, it was marked as 8 modules. But when I got to #8, there were suddenly 10. Module 8 didn't match what I had initially downloaded. On the final test, the vast majority of the questions were not covered in the modules that it said they were from. I passed, but it didn't give the answers, so I'm not sure if I missed any, or which ones.
While informative, there were a number of concerning errors or misleading statements which I felt took away from the authenticity of the training. Overstating and overselling are not necessary when there are so many legitimate studies and proven benefits to discuss.
The test is way too easy. Each question has only one reasonably correct answer because all the other answers use words like "always," "never", and "only," which immediately eliminates them as a correct answer.
Some thought provoking content along with some "woo woo" content
I've been practicing equine therapy for a few years now, and took this course for the certificate. Some of the content is very relevant and helpful for session design and client interactions. The way the course described designing session arcs to slowly build difficulty was helpful. The module on eco-spiritual practices was a bit too much for me, and the spiritual discussions in the course are almost exclusively centered around nature spirituality. The course excludes any kind of ridden work, and does not contain any practical activities. It is all principle-based and big picture.
I was expecting visual lessons more then theory coz breathwork is all about physical lesson. Module 2 dosent match with the audio, please check the coordination
I expected it to be deeper into every detail. This was more a "scratch on the surface" and an easy to grasp introduction.
And with that mind set it worked well.
I gained some good and relevant insight from the course. However, it was information overload. I think it would have been better if the information had been chunked into smaller sections with quizzes along the way instead of waiting until the end of the module.
As an introduction to skills and potential, it's not bad. The course was in text only, no images, videos or case examples. There was quite a lot of repetition. The risks and dangers of art therapy were not covered effectively, such as clients who abreact, clients who 'can't draw'. There was quite a lot of 'toxic positivity' enumerating the advantages of art therapy, a powerful but complex and challenging profession but with significant risks and dangers. Anyone completing this course and imagining they can provide art therapy would be severely deluded. The track record of discriminant personality change is not good: terms like 'improve your personality' 'my best qualities' are in danger of skating over the darker qualities in all of us.
This course was good - my only criticism is that it could have included more of a focus on activities to run in group sessions - there was lost of theory but it was a little lite on practicality in my opinion.
This course offered invaluable information and practical guidance for creating systems as well as learning. Some aspects were repetitive however overall, it was an insightful and beneficial course.
Technically+structurally a bit unclear. A map at the end about the structure of the webpage+curriculum+options would be nice.
For example: there is a chance to rewrite my answers or there is a choice to learn with quizzes after each chapter etc
