Information for Trainees
PANZ Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington offers training in psychodrama through year-long programmes, training and experiential workshops, reading, writing, peer practice group, social activities and supervision. Most courses are open to those who wish to develop their professional abilities without necessarily becoming certificated practitioners.
The Training
The PANZ Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington Campus provides training which leads to certification as a certification as a role trainer, psychodrama director, sociodrama director and sociometrist. The Campus is accredited by Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand Psychodrama Association Inc (AANZPA).
The purpose of the programme is to develop integrated knowledge of the theory and excellence in the practice of the psychodrama method. This method assists people to work with groups and individuals in therapeutic, educational, creative and organisational settings. This training is also of value to those in positions where providing leadership is central to their role.
Significant learning and application can be achieved without completing requirements for full certification. Professionals wanting to further develop their abilities may be eligible to participate in ongoing training groups and/or specific workshops.
Training involves attending specific training workshops, experiential workshops, reading, writing, peer group activities and supervision.
The curriculum for each programme is based on the material set out in the AANZPA Training and Standards Manual.
- Core Curriculum Training introduces the core elements of the psychodrama method through demonstration, teaching, group process and supervised practice.
- Intermediate Training strengthens trainees’ role development in the areas of directing, auxiliary work and group work. Trainees are expected to complete some reading and writing requirements.
- Advanced Training assists in the refinement of the skills of the director and the application of these in personal and professional settings. Advanced trainees are expected to complete reading, writing and peer group activities. Advanced trainees are also expected to join AANZPA and to seek supervision for the application of psychodrama in their work settings.
PANZ Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington will create multi-level training groups that will be responsive to the training needs of all participating trainees.
