The organization management feature for the CPS certification program is primarily geared toward agencies that play a significant role in the procurement and maintenance of its affiliates' CPS certifications.

Often times, there is one individual responsible for registering everyone within the agency for certification courses, is the contact person for purchase orders, or follows up with each individual in regards to recertification and keeps everyone's certification up-to-date.

Registering your organization and having your members designate themselves as an affiliate of the organization allows the organization manager to:

1. Better track affiliate certifications through access to their contact and certification information
2. Allow affiliates to use the organization's purchase orders and/or e-voucher to pay for all program fees, including recertification
3. Register affiliates for courses
4. Provide an E-Voucher or E-PO number for affiliates to use.

Signing Up: Any organization may register with Safe Kids.The registration is completely separate from any certification registration.

To register your organization, click on the LOG IN button on the right and then select ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT.

PLEASE NOTE: The background color will be a different color when you are in the organization management system.

• Organization Management FAQs

The Organization Manager is the person responsible for registering the organization with Safe Kids.  They serve as the primary contact between Safe Kids and their organization. They are also responsible for managing the organization's purchase order(s) or e-voucher, if used.

Through the Web site, the organization manager can track affiliates' certifications, reschedule registrations and handle substitutions.

Affiliates are anyone in the CPS online system who allows the organization manager to view their contact and certification information.

For people completely new to the CPS certification system, the organization manager can add affiliates through the VIEW/ADD AFFILIATES action item listed in the organization management section. Take care to avoid making duplicate profiles. Only add people that have never been CPS-certified and are not currently in the Safe Kids system.  The other option is for the individual to register themselves in the certification system, click on UPDATE AFFILIATE ORGANIZATION, and add the organization.

Anyone who already has a profile must select the organization by clicking on the UPDATE AFFILIATION action item in their CPS Online Profile. They will search for the organization by name. Because individuals must approve that their contact and certification information be shared, the Organization Manager cannot select them to be affiliates.

Because some individuals work for one agency and are sponsored by another, there are two spaces for affiliation to an organization. As affiliates, they will then be able to use that organization's POs and e-vouchers, once the organizational manager gives them the appropriate PO or e-voucher number. Being an affiliate does not require that the organization pay any fees.

Affiliates will be able to pay all of their fees online with this organization's purchase orders or e-voucher (if these numbers are provided to them by the Organization Manager).
