Safe Kids Updates Recertification Requirements
03/07/2016
Excerpt from March 2016 CPS Express:
Community
Education
Technicians
now have three options to meet their community education requirement.
Option
1: Participated in at least one two-hour checkup event with at least one other
CPS technician at which you serve families using any standardized checklist to
provide documentation, if needed.
Option
2: Provided at least four hours of community education. Examples include
presenting to parents, educators, kids or organizations (PTAs, law
enforcement). These presentations are not for CPSTs.
Option
3: Attended a one hour (minimum) educational session on how to better reach
community members, improve communication skills or instructor development.
Continuing
Education Credits (CEUs)
In
2007 there were far fewer quality online options for new CPS Technical
information. With webinars now commonplace, both live and online, technicians
may now earn all six CEUs under Category 5: Online/Web Sessions.
Safe
Kids and the National Child Passenger Safety Board appreciate your ongoing
dedication to keeping families safe and for staying current in the field.
