About Godly Play Advanced Training

Advanced training is designed to not simply share new information, but to help participants learn to think critically about the work they are doing so they can improve skills. Advanced Godly Play Training is something you can come back to again and again since the centerpiece of the three days is time to work with case studies, specific interactions between children, children and teachers, or teachers and others in the community, brought by each of the participants. 

To support each member of the circle, participants are required to be present for the entire training. A Godly Play Foundation participation certificate will be awarded upon completion of training. Missing any part of the training could result in a participant not receiving certification.
