From Practitioner to Certified Play Therapist: Master Your Certification Exam

You’ve dedicated your career to the healing power of play. Now, solidify your expertise. Our CPT practice test is the definitive prep tool, packed with case scenarios and theory-based questions designed to prepare you for the rigors of the play therapy certification exam.

Bridging Clinical Skill with Exam Mastery

Your clinical intuition is sharp, but the certification exam tests a different skill: the ability to apply complex theories and ethical principles under pressure.

It’s a comprehensive evaluation of your knowledge, from Axline to attachment theory, and from intake to termination.

Our CPT Exam Prep tool was created by certified play therapists to bridge that gap. We move beyond textbooks to simulate the actual exam experience. Our platform challenges you with nuanced case scenarios, tests your recall of seminal theories, and prepares you for the tough ethical dilemmas you’ll face on test day.
