Therapeutic play skills is a FETAC Level 6 minor award, offered on a part time, blended learning, basis which will equip learners with the relevant knowledge, skills, and competence to plan, deliver, and evaluate both group and individual play based interventions.

Directive and non-directive therapeutic approaches will be addressed.
This course will run on a series of Saturdays (10.30am to 5.30pm ) and Wednesday evenings (7pm to 9pm ) from January 21 to March 28.
