Has anybody been on or completed this course?

I can imagine jobs are few and far between but it's exactly what I would love to do.

Is the course good? Intense? Did you find employment afterwards?

Any insight would be welcome please.

This course?

It certainly looks interesting. This point is intriguing - All students are required to be in personal therapy for the duration of the course.

Do you already have the required relevant professional experience? And are you booked onto the (general) Postgrad Open Evening in November?

MA Play Therapy

Gain the knowledge, experience, skills and confidence to work as a professionally qualified play therapist, with the British Association of Play Therapists.

I’ve looked at this course many times. I’d love to do it as I’m a teacher and it feels like a great next step of my career. There are increasing numbers of children who need this kind of support. However, between the full time fees and the vast amount of money required for the ‘personal therapy’, it’s just not doable. I’d imagine there’s not many who could afford to do this or the art therapy course.

I'm very similar to you. I really feel like this would be the next step but my goodness the costs! I can't see that the pay is much of a reward once you have graduated either. But I really would love to do it.
