We recognize that financial investment is a critical factor when selecting a professional training program. The Beyond the Box Play Therapy Training Program is a structured, evidence-informed pathway specifically designed to support completion of Registered Play Therapist (RPT) certification within two years, and no more than three. Fully approved by the Association for Play Therapy, the program integrates required coursework and supervised instruction into a streamlined model that reduces unnecessary time and expense.
The attached pricing reflects the comprehensive program package and is calculated with the full training sequence in mind. While participants may elect to pursue components on an à la carte basis, doing so may result in a higher overall cost. This bundled structure is intentionally designed to maximize value, efficiency, and continuity of training while maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.
