Education (International groups)

Frequently asked questions

NO - definitely not.

We invite international colleagues, and experts on Adventure & Nature Therapy practice, research, and projects to share their knowledge through online seminars.

That would be desirable. These are specific seminars on special topics in order to focus on a specific diagnostic, treatment, or target group. This means that you should have prior knowledge or specific questions to get the best possible benefit from the seminar.

Example 3x 2-hour specialized seminar on the topic:
"Natural and Adventure Therapy with clients who suffer from an eating disorder"

You already work with patients and have basic knowledge about the different manifestations of the mental health problem and/or experience in working with the clinical picture or the target group. By participating in the in-depth seminar, you would like to optimize your treatment, receive new treatment ideas and enter into a professional exchange with other colleagues. 
 

No, none.

With the theory course, we want to reach many interested people who want to continue their further education. You can also just take part and not take the exam at the end.

You cannot work with theory alone and it takes a lot of practice and practical experience to become active in Adventure and Nature Therapy.

We assume that probably only people with serious interest will invest 2 hours a week for six months ;-)

YES, of course - gladly even.
We are always looking for people who will work with us to advance the topic further.


Please just contact us (preferably by email to info@ati.academy)
As a rule, we start with a 2-hour specialist lecture in order to discuss the technology, the possibilities of online teaching, and the selection of the topic together.
