Check the calendar below for our upcoming training and learning opportunities.
Sheffield Play Partnership is a national leader in the delivery of play & playwork qualifications, offering accredited courses at level 1, 2, 3 and 4.
As experienced Playworkers and project managers ourselves, we have directly designed and selected trainings that meet the needs of play projects and offer a progressive pathway for learners looking to volunteer or work with children at play. Our courses are also perfect for anyone whose role impacts children’s lived environments, leisure time and mental health and well being, since play is central to the ways children experience the world and themselves.
We are committed to offering trainings that reflect the needs of the play sector in Sheffield. We aim to seek funding to be able to offer free or subsidised places, which we were able to do over the last few years thanks to Sheffield City Council. We are also able to tailor trainings for your needs. If you need something specific, please get in touch with us.
We are proud to be able to deliver these thanks to working partnerships with MaTReC and Common Threads.
