There are 4 requirements to pass the course and become a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST).

1. Attend the entire course, including the check up event.
2. Pass all three hands-on skills assessments during the course. If you fail any assessment, you will be notified during the course and may stay in class as an observer only at the discretion of the Lead Instructor
3. Participate in, and demonstrate technical and communication skills learned during the course, at the check up event.
4. Earn a combined score of 84% or higher on the three open-book quizzes. 

If any of the above does not occur, you must repeat the entire course to be certified. No refund will be provided, as all processing and course materials have been delivered. You must register for any subsequent course and pay any associated fees.

If you must retake the CPS Certification course, use your existing online profile and register for a new course using your current username and password.  Please do not create a duplicate contact record.

If you have a special need, you should send a written request to the Lead Instructor, documenting the need and specifying the accommodation requested before the start date of the course.  The name, phone number and email address of the Lead Instructor is on the course information page.

You are your best advocate! Please be sure to speak up and make specific requests to the Lead Instuctor. They can't help if they don't know what you need. Accommodations may be made on-site at the discretion of the instructor team. Depending on the nature of the accommodation requested, additional documentation from a qualified professional may be required.
