Healing, Transformation & Self-expression!
Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and professional growth?
Our Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Practitioner Certification Course (HICAT) is your gateway to a rewarding career and a profound personal awakening.
About the HICAT Course:
Creative Arts Therapy is a dynamic and deeply rewarding field that harnesses the expressive arts; movement, painting, sculpture, writing, drawing, sound healing and more to facilitate healing, personal growth, and transformation.
You will be able to immediately apply art as therapy, even if you've never done art before. It's not about the artwork, it's about the process (drawing stick figure people and finger painting are completely fine).
You don't need any previous art experience or qualifications to enrol.
This course allows you to create your own business and/or implement the skills into your current job role. Upon completion of the HICAT course, you will be able to live a life filled with creativity and self-expression, as you help other people to live happier and healthier lives.
We provide a high level of support and encouragement in developing your own unique style and skill set as a Holistic integrated creative arts therapist and/or holistic counsellor.
Our teachers and facilitators are qualified and practicing holistic therapists, to ensure you receive the best possible support.
Course workload:
- The course consists of 20 comprehensive modules.
- Each module is carefully structured to provide you with the necessary Theory to grow your knowledge as well as hands on practical activities in each class to build your skillset.
- There is approximately 5-7 hours of homework each week that you complete between classes to upkeep the integration of the HICAT teachings. This structure allows you to delve deep into the material, explore your creative potential, and absorb the content away from the classroom.

- Classes are held one day per week from 9am to 2.30pm.
