CPS Technician Certification Renewal

The 8-hour National CPS Training Certification Renewal Course is a way for once-certified individuals to become certified again. In order to be eligible for this course, the student must have a CPS profile with a certification status of EXPIRED. There is no limit for how long ago their certification expired. If you are expired, but have maintained your child passenger safety knowledge and hands-on skills, the 8-hour Certification Renewal Class is for you!
(Note: The Renewal Course does NOT serve as an update/refresher class). A score of 84% on the written test is required. Two attempts are allowed to successfully complete all seven technical skills scenarios.

The fee for this class is $75 payable directly to the Safe Kids Worldwide CPS Certification Program through their online system. Please visit the link below for instructions on how to begin the registration process with Safe Kids Worldwide.

CPS Technician Workshops (for CEU credits)

In order to assist Georgia's CPS Technicians in re-certifying, a new CPS Technician Workshop has been developed that will allow techs to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The workshop meets all requirements established by the National CPS Board and Safe Kids Worldwide because the content is designed to improve CPS knowledge through technical updates. Each technician completing the workshop will receive a certificate of attendance as documentation for re-certification.
