The Academy of Therapeutic Arts understands that we all lead busy lives and that we need to value our time and resources with great care.
ATA is committed to the concept of creating a Flexible learning environment where you can maximise their time and energy in the most efficient way.
For this reason we have developed our courses so that all the theory components can be studied in the comfort of your own home, anywhere, anytime in Australia or from around the world. We have no semesters so you can start studying when ever you like.
With this you are given two choices in how you would like to complete your studies, we can either send you the studies guides via Australia Post or you can use our E-learning option where you are given your own log in pass word which links you to the study materials. We recommend E-learning as the best option as firstly it is better for the environment as it saves more trees and secondly all of your assessment material can be sent electronically which will save you time and money in postage and handling.
ATA’s practical training has been developed to also be as efficient as possible, so we run our practical training by what we call intensive experiential training.
ATA’s experiential training develops your skills in your chosen therapy stream quickly and gives you direct experience of working with clients in industry conditions. These are set at specific times throughout the year to enable you to plan your attendance to suit your needs. You will be kept informed of any special training opportunities, intensives and seminars that may be held at the ATA from time to time. Click here to see course calendar.
Some courses carry with them a requirement for you to complete an unsupervised practicum and there are options as to how you may complete this. Once you have been assessed competent under ATA’s teaching conditions you will be able to complete you’re unsupervised cases studies from where ever you are in Australia or around the world. You may use this experience to build the case studies that you will submit as evidence of skills extension.
If you are already in a clinical practice, either in your own business or as an employee, you may use this to satisfy the unsupervised practicum component of the course.
