Can I become an art therapist after completing the course? 取得證書後，我可以當藝術治療師嗎？
To become a professional art therapist, one requires formal training in psychology or counselling, in addition to structured placement under supervision. The aim of this programme is to provide a comprehensive and systematic art therapy training on art therapy to the people needed, in order to equip themselves to offer help in workplace and personal life.
The aim of this programme is not training you to become a lecturer; but after you finish studying it, you can assist in art therapy sessions, and also enrich your professional ability in work position, in particular during face-to-face counselling.
要當一個專業的藝術治療師還需要正規的心理學或輔導訓練，並要加上督導實習。此課程的宗旨是給有需要的人士一個全面而有系統的藝術治療訓練，提升他們在工作上或個人生活上助人的能力。
此課程的目的不是訓練你成為導師，但當你修畢這課程後，你可以當藝術治療助手，也可以在原有工作崗位上加倍發揮，特別在面對面輔導中，能豐富自己的專業技巧。
