NCFE accredited and certificated
PPP2 has been accredited by NCFE under the Customised Qualification. Successful learners will receive a certificate of achievement directly from NCFE. The certificate is evidence of the knowledge and skills gained by completing the qualification.
The PARS training is a fantastic professional development opportunity for those who want to learn more about play theory and playwork practice in the context of schools, youth working, and outdoor play programmes. The training enables you to consolidate any pre-existing knowledge on playwork practice, and expand on your current knowledge by learning about the PARS framework, leaving you with the confidence to better your playwork knowledge, understanding and ongoing journey.
Eye opening - it's fascinating how much we do as adults in our opinion to help children during play, but actually the best thing we can do is step back and just let them play! Really exploring the child's perspective has helped me change my whole approach to playtimes.
