This course is intended to provide students with a level of understanding in the challenging field of child passenger safety (CPS).

Technician candidates also will learn how to choose the most appropriate seating position in a vehicle, how to properly secure a child safety seat in a vehicle and how to properly secure a child in a child seat.

This is a physically demanding class in which candidates will install car seats in several vehicles. If a candidate has limitations that may prevent him or her from completing a child restraint installation, please contact the Lead Instructor listed below to discuss your situation.

To become certified as a CPS Technician, Technician Candidates must register for this course online, pay the course fee and attend the entire course, which includes hands-on skills testing and a comprehensive written exam. Nationally certified CPS Instructors teach the course.
