Institute For Arts in Therapy & Education

I attended the school for one term and then made the decision to leave after realising the environment would not be one that I would be able to flourish in. I was deeply disappointed and shocked by the insidious, covert, toxic environment that is the underpinning of the school. Biased lectures and theories ( be prepared to be gaslit by peers and tutors alike ) Invalidating responses and attitudes towards very serious concerns raised ( by many students ) Not recommended for healthy individuals who have self" and emotional awareness and do not thrive in toxic environments. * no support for a fellow student who has dyslexia* *witnessed Neuro diverse students, have their experiences invalidated often* *topics of race and social injustice-,handled POORLY! to say the least. *lectures are biased with no options for debates ( delivered by in house teachers only* *lectures explored very outdated theories and ideas, not discussing much of the new theories*

I first visited IATE over 10 years ago ans was blown away by the high quality learning environment and the knowledge and professionalism of the tutors and guest speakers. I have been exceptionally privileged to continue to access professional development opportunities over the years that have been cutting edge and informed by the latest research and evidence. The training is second to none. Each of the training spaces is themed and provides a comfortable learning environment. And the toilets are worth a visit alone!!!
