The following courses and workshops have been, or are in the process of being, accredited by Play Therapy UK (PTUK) for CPD points for qualified Registrants and Members.

The providers have met PTUK and PTI rigorous CPD standards for the courses listed. Please apply directly to the contact shown for more information and bookings. If you wish to attend a course or training which is not shown below and have it count towards your 30 hours CPD, you must have prior approval from Monika Jephcott, or it cannot count towards your annual CPD. Please send details, including the web link and justification why this particular course will enhance your play therapy skills, to her at mokijep@majemail.com at least three weeks before the event. If it is approved, a reference code will be forwarded to you which you will need to show on your membership renewal form, together with a brief summary of how your work as a Play Therapist will have benefited from the course or training.

For all CPD events, make sure that you collect your attendance certificate and/or PTUK authorised Certificate of CPD Training from the provider, when you have completed the course or day.
