Course description:
This training program is designed to provide the participants

protections systems, types of child restraints, selecting
and securing children in child restraints, correct installation
of child restraints, misuse and compatibility issues,

a child safety seat check event.
Before earning the two-year national certification,

(a total of 50 questions), as well as successful completion
of three hands-on skills evaluations. This course is
offered in a 4-day and accelerated 3-day format. For

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.
