PPP2
PPP2 (PARS Playwork Practice Level 2) is our accredited introduction to PARS model of playwork practice, suitable for anybody who works in any setting where children spend their free time. Parents are also welcome to take part in PPP2!
The aim of this NCFE Customised Qualification is to enable practitioners to use the PARS model to begin to articulate and develop their playwork practice. By the end of this course you will be able to begin to put PARS Methods, Theories and Techniques into practice.

What is involved in a PARS programme?
Teaching
Your PARS programme will be taught live by a PPP4 qualified PARS Licensed Trainer. All PARS courses are interactive with plenty of time for discussion and learning from other participants. The course materials are provided online and include handouts and two course handbooks which you will use to help you complete your assessments.
Practice
During the course you will be asked to try out some of the PARS model whilst working with children. Real-world case studies, discussions and assessments will enable you to put PARS into practice. You will not be assessed in your workplace.
Assessment
PARS is an NCFE International Award Centre. Your assessments are completed online through short assignments and multiple choice texts. You will receive feedback from your dedicated PARS assessor and supported throughout the assessment process.
