Online Introduction Session – Playful Beginnings

Our 2-hour online Introduction Session ‘Playful Beginnings’ provides an ideal opportunity to learn more about the interventions and media used in therapeutic play, as well as APAC’s experiential based training methods.

• Participants will learn how Play Therapy sessions with children are delivered, as well as hearing vignettes and examples of how Play Therapy works.
• There will also be time at the end of the session to ask the Course Director and Administrative team any questions you may have about Play Therapy and progression to the next stage of training.

Although this session does not provide students with any formal qualifications to allow them to practice, they are very useful to anyone considering undertaking one of our Postgraduate courses or those who would just like to know a little bit more about Play Therapy and its uses.

Online Introduction sessions are open to everyone regardless of previous experience or qualifications.

However, the next level of training, the Certificate in Therapeutic Play Skills will require a first- or second-class Honours degree in a related subject and two years’ experience working with children as the minimum. Please check the entry requirements for the course you are interested in.

Please note that attending an online session is not a compulsory requirement for enrolling onto a Certificate Course, nor does it guarantee a place on a Certificate Course.

After attending this session, you will receive a certificate of attendance and 2 CPD points.

Please find the cost, dates and times and how to book on the right.

Should you decide to progress onto the Certificate programme all Introduction Session attendees will receive a FREE digital copy of The Healing Path by Mark Barnes

We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your Play Therapy journey.
