Part-time Educational Training Mixed Media (drama, art or music).

The minimum age required for the part-time training is 21. Each student is assessed at the beginning of the training to assertain his or her level of competency.

The students graduate as a Creative Arts Therapist in their own modality, that is as a drama therapist, art therapist or music therapist. However, the set up of the part time training differs from the full time course. Students studying different art forms follow one ‘mixed media’ training together. Each art form is its own source of inspiration and every student develops their own competencies in their art form. Whilst practicing as a Creative Arts Therapist, there tends to be cooperation between different art forms. The ‘mixed media’ program serves the needs of the work place by establishing this link already during the training.

Process of Learning.

The student’s process of learning will be recorded in a ‘portfolio’, as is done in the full-time training. A work experience placement of 12 hours a week is required after the beginning of the training.

Days of Training.

The part time training begins in September 2006. Tuesday evening and Wednesday during the day are the study days. After 1½ years, the training on Tuesday evenings comes to an end (due to the beginning of the work placement).

Degrees.

The educational training of Creative Art Therapist requires the following degrees:

• Dutch secondary educational programs of VWO, HAVO or completed MBO grant admission to higher education at HAN (“Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen”, or “HAN University of Professional Education”)
   

• A foreign diploma like Gymnasium, high school, college or any certificate preparing for a bachelors degree will be accepted after review of diploma.
   

• Candidates older than 21 who do not possess one of the qualifications mentioned above can qualify for access to higher education on the basis of an entrance examination and assessment.

If you have a foreign diploma, this needs to be evaluated by the SIA (Studenten Inschrijf Administratie) (link). German diplomas are accepted without this evaluation.

Foreign students are also required to pass the NT2 language course for Dutch as a second language. All the classes of the creative arts therapy training are taught in Dutch. A Dutch language course (exam NT2) is therefore recommended to foreigns students who wish to follow the training. Eurolinguist offers a summer course aimed at German students you need to pay for this yourself (link www.eurolinguist.nl/han )
