Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak good English to become a PARS Licensed Trainer?
It is helpful if you can speak good English so that you can fully participate in the full range of PARS activities. However, if you live in a country where there is a PARS Hub, you may be able to join an existing team of PARS trainers who can help you with translation.
What does it cost to become a PARS Licensed Trainer?
The fee for the trainer licence depends on the length of time the licence is issued for and which PARS courses individual trainers want to deliver. The cost for the T2T sessions are included in the PARS Licensed Trainer Fee. The only other cost to trainers is the Course Certification Fee, which covers the cost of assessment and certification for each learner. For current Licence Fees and Course Certification Fees, please contact us.
How long does my PARS License run for?
Normally PARS Trainers Licences are valid for two years. However, we are happy to consider other time periods in certain circumstances. We hope that you will renew your licence once it runs out! However, if you do not renew, you are no longer able to deliver PARS training, use any of the PARS materials or to benefit from being part of the PARS Licensed Trainer Team.
Can I charge for the PARS training I deliver?
Of course! After you have paid your licence fee, it is up to you to decide what fees you charge for your training. The only payment to us is the Course Certification Fee for each course you deliver.
What experience do I need to become a PARS Licensed Trainer?
Only experienced trainers who have completed our PPP4 NCFE-accredited Customised Qualification can become a PARS Licensed Trainer.
Once I am licensed, who can I deliver PARS training to?
Once licensed, you can deliver PARS training to anybody who works with children, and parents, both online and in person. This could be through organised ‘public’ courses or in-house training for specific organisations. Our current training team are delivering PARS training to a huge range of audiences, from out of school care and environmental projects to architects, community groups and kindergarten teachers – there is an awful lot of scope for PARS training!
Does the T2T teach me how to train/teach adults?
No – you must already be an experienced trainer to become a PARS Licensed Trainer. A qualification for teaching adults is great, but not essential. The T2T and other events you will take part in once you have become a PARS Licensed Trainer will help you to develop new training skills and methods, but you need to be able to demonstrate experience of teaching adults in order to be accepted on the T2T programme.
Am I assessed as a PARS trainer?
We monitor the quality of all PARS training through the assessment and evaluation processes. Trainers are provided with an IQA report at the end of each course which includes feedback from learners, the course assessor and IQA and Dr Shelly Newstead.
