AATA's Provider Status

Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB)

All educational sessions sponsored by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) are accepted for continuing education by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB).

National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC)

American Art Therapy Association has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 5760. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. American Art Therapy Association is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.

Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs) in New York

AATA is also approved by the State of New York as a provider of continuing education for Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs) in New York.

Determining Course Eligibility

To determine whether a session is also eligible for National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) or New York Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) continuing education credit, look for the designation that appears before the session number:

Designation Guide

• (N) – NBCC-approved continuing education
• (NY) – New York LCAT continuing education
• (N/NY) – Eligible for both NBCC and New York LCAT continuing education

If no (N), (NY), or (N/NY) designation appears before or after the session title, the session is eligible for ATCB continuing education only.

Note: It is each attendee's responsibility to determine whether their licensing or credentialing body will accept continuing education earned through the American Art Therapy Association.

Certificates and Hours

The designated number of continuing education clock hours will be awarded to participants upon the successful completion of the online test. Participants may repeat the course as many times as is necessary to achieve completion. To receive the Certificate of Completion, participants must correctly answer 100 percent of the questions.

Upon successful completion, participants can download, view and/or print copies of their Certificates which can be accessed through the Dashboard.
