Playing outdoors is a major component in the health and wellness of our children.  And it is our responsibility to ensure safe, enjoyable play areas for all.  CPRS, in conjunction with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) are offering the Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) course and certification to properly train and certify you and your staff to recognize and prevent potential playground hazards. 

 
Courses are designed for park and recreation staff, school districts, childcare facilities, health departments, landscape architects, playground manufacturers, installers, contractors, insurance firms, home owner's associations and more.

CPRS offers both in-person courses/exams and virtual, or "blended learning", courses/exams -- see below for details about each.  Both CPRS members and non-members are welcome to register!
