Accredited membership is only open to members who meet the very stringent standards required by IAPTP. These include requirements in relation to training, extensive clinical practice experience, clinical supervision to required ratios with suitably qualified and experienced supervisors and engagement in ongoing continuing professional development activities.\u00a0 Some play therapists are psychotherapists, other are not. Therefore, there are 2 routes to training depending on whether the applicant is or is not already as a qualified psychotherapist, counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist when beginning their play therapy training. Criteria for each of these routes is detailed in the relevant Bye Laws: see links below.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As part of assessing your accreditation application the Accreditation Committee may request logs (clinical practice, supervision, and\/or personal therapy) from any applicant to be emailed or posted to them. These will be requested from a percentage of all applicants and from any applicant at the discretion of the committee. See sample logs here:<\/p>\n To apply, complete the appropriate online application form attaching the relevant documents. When your application is received you will be emailed an invoice which you can pay online to initiate the application process.<\/p>\n Bye Law 8: Accreditation Application Route 1\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Bye Law 9: Accreditation Application Route 2<\/a><\/p>\n The documents you will need to upload with your accreditation application are:<\/p>\n The Accreditation Committee process applications twice each year: April and October<\/strong>.
