Commonly asked questions

Triple P is one of the few parenting programs in the world with evidence to show it works. There are literally hundreds of trials and studies to show Triple P works for most families, in many different cultures, and in many different family situations. Triple P Online is also the first online parenting program proven to work.


The entire course takes about 60-90 minutes to complete. Of course, everyone is different and some people might take a little more or less time. Some people like to do the whole course in one go. Others like to break it up into smaller chunks. Finish the program in one session or take it slow and do it over a few days or whenever suits – it's up to you!


Triple P International takes your privacy and data protection very seriously. We have rigorous IT security systems and procedures. We don’t share your information with any third-party marketing organizations or unauthorized personnel. Your email address and region are visible to our administration team. Your progress may be visible to a system administrator in case you need to change your email address. All other family information within the program is anonymized. If you’d like more information, please review our privacy policy.


It’s helpful, but not essential. Triple P is used very successfully by individual parents. When more than one parent or caregiver does the course, it helps everyone work as a team to make changes. This includes grandparents, step-parents and other family members, if they also care for your children. It makes it easier to communicate better about parenting, argue and disagree less, and support each other more. If you want more than one parent or caregiver to have their own workbook and certificate, please register separately on our website.


One of the great things about Triple P is that it’s not about telling you what to do in every situation. It’s about helping you feel confident that you can work out what to do. This will be based on what you learn about child development and the strategies you’ve picked up, and your ability to review and refine. So, if you have questions about parenting, we suggest you go ahead and do the program! If it’s about something else to do with Triple P, you may want to try contacting us using this website’s contact details, via our social media channels, or through your local Triple P support service.
