administration and the 'Play for Life Journal'
production and shipping. When there are sufficient
members PTSG will become self financing and its Members

Q. What is the main difference
between this programme and other play therapy training
sometimes offered in Singapore?
A.
The APAC course is a Post Graduate programme with full
University awards unlike courses that are for CPD
purposes only with just an attendance certificate.
If participants do not want the University awards the
course may be taken with a PTI 'Certificate in
Therapeutic Play Skills' award only. Click
