{{spoiler|This is the final course that unlocks after the completion of Course Four. Upon entering, GLaDOS will chime in and explain the significance of Atlas and P-Body's testing and what their true purpose is. The players are then dropped into the defunct Aperture testing spheres encountered during single player, and must make use of all elements from the previous chambers along with the Gels that are found in the course. The final course is very difficult, requiring both players to act as a true team. The last chamber is halted by a large vault door, which holds the frozen humans inside. Both players must perform any gesture to ultimately unlock the door.}}

Set after the conclusion of the Mobility Gels course, GLaDOS has reassembled the bots for testing again and claims that it has been millions of years since they were last reassembled. {{spoiler|As the testing progresses, the bots are able to observe the defunct surroundings of the Enrichment Center, which GLaDOS assures them as part of an "art exhibit". Further on in the course, players will be sent to a Robot Assembly Annex station to repair their own reassembly machines as GLaDOS finally makes it clear that it has only been a week since the Mobility Gels course and that she needs their help in restoring her control over the facility as something is overriding her controls. At the end of the course, both players are sent out of the testing area to resolve the problem in a control room housing a prototype chassis of the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]].}}

Interestingly, the sixth course was initially going to consist of advanced test chambers during ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s development, months before the game was released. However, this was scrapped and was removed from the final game. The [[Peer Review]] DLC to ''Portal 2'' instead adds only challenge modes to single-player and co-op, with no sign of advanced test chambers. The Art Therapy course is referred to as an additional course instead of the "sixth course".
