Collaborative
Partnership With Canterbury Christ Church University
The Academy of Play and Child Psychotherapy (APAC) is
delighted to announce that its collaborative partnership with Canterbury
Christ Church University (CCCU) in the UK, has been extended to cover the
delivery of the MA in Practice Based Play Therapy programme in Hong
Kong.
There are three stages:
-
Post Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play - 15
days
-
Post Graduate Diploma in Play Therapy - 15 days
-
MA by Dissertation - 8 days
Participants may exit the programme after any of the
stages.
The 15 days Post Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play course in Hong Kong
will be run as 15 days training consecutively for 15 days, or taken as 3x5 days.
Whether you do the 15 days consecutively or in 3 times 5 days, the course is identical in content,
leads to the same qualification, and you have to commit yourself to 15 days, ie the whole post
graduate certificate. But the choice of how you do it time wise is yours.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Play Therapy course
will be run in Hong Kong at the same time as the 15 days Certificate course.
It is anticipated that teaching and tutorial support for
the MA dissertation will be provided in 2012/13.
The
academic awards will be
made by Canterbury Christchurch University; each of the three stages results
in the award of 60 Level 7 credits .
The professional, clinical awards
will be made by Play Therapy International (PTI) as
certificates of practice:
‘Practitioner in Therapeutic Play Skills’ and ‘Certified Play Therapist’.
The programme is the
first and only one at Post
Graduate and Masters level, accredited by a recognised university, in Play
Therapy, in Hong Kong. By
meeting the highest academic standards and the PTI international standards
of practice competencies, it will enhance successful trainees' professional
credibility and earning power.
It will enable them to achieve professional parity with other mental health
professionals.
The collaborative partnership between
APAC and CCCU has been in existence since 2006 in the United Kingdom where
the programme is delivered at 9 venues in the UK, Ireland and France. The
programme has become the most successful in Europe in terms of clinical
results with the children (see research page/section) and number of
trainees.
The University registration fees, which are in addition to the course
tuition fees, are: HK$6700 for the Certificate stage and HK$5000 for the
Diploma stage.
