PPP3
PARS Playwork Practice Level 3 - for advanced practitioners
PPP3 is our advanced PARS practitioner programme, particularly suitable for experienced practitioners working in any setting where children spend their free time.
PPP3 is an in-depth exploration of how you can use the PARS model to evaluate and develop your playwork practice.
PPP3 is delivered online in two hour sessions over eight weeks. Anyone who works with children can join PPP3 without previous PARS training.
PPP3 is for anybody who works with children in their leisure time
Learn with and from other professionals
PPP3 is for adults who work anywhere where children spend their free time, such as out of school programmes, summer camps, disaster relief projects, adventure playgrounds, school playgrounds, playschemes, zoos and more!
Internationally applicable
The PARS model of playwork practice is currently being used in 17 different countries/regions, including Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, USA and more!
In this great journey, I found challenges that reshaped my perspective and gained valuable knowledge and skills that will enhance my interactions with children in both my professional and personal endeavors.
Sarah Aweida, Qatar
I now have a whole new vocabulary and understanding to what I do, and I am able to confidently use this in action.
PARS model of playwork practice inspires me a lot in how to play with kids truly, substantially and efficiently from children's perspective, in addition to learning how to observe children’s play and respond appropriately and mingle with children.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to attend previous PARS training before I join PPP3?
There is no requirement to complete any other PARS training before taking part in PPP3. However, if you are interested in taking PPP4 (and becoming a PARS Licensed Trainer), then you must complete PPP3 first.
Will I need to do homework on PPP3?
Yes, afraid so! PPP3 is a NCFE accredited Customised Qualification, so all participants need to do weekly assignments during the course to demonstrate how they can put PARS playwork into practice when working with children. These assignments are assessed by our Assessment Team who will give feedback on each assignment.
How long does PPP3 take?
PPP3 is taught online over 8 weeks in two hour sessions. In addition there are another 60 TQT (Total Qualification Time) hours in which you will need to do private study, apply PARS in your settings and complete your assessments.
What does the course cost cover?
The cost of this course is £380 per person, which includes all teaching, assessment, learning resources and certification from NCFE.
How long does my PPP3 Customised Qualification last?
Technically there is no expiry date for your NCFE certificate. However, we strongly encourage you to continuously develop your PARS playwork practice and you can find plenty of opportunities to do so here!
