CPSI Spring Course – Calgary – April 19-22, 2010
The Canadian Playground Safety Institute, in association with the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association, is offering a four day course for participants who wish to complete playground inspector certification training. This training is designed for owner/operators, health inspectors, daycare staff, maintenance/public works staff for schools, municipalities, housing complexes and other areas that contain public playspaces, private inspectors and contractors, manufacturers, installers, parks staff, insurance agents, etc. This playground safety education program helps individuals thoroughly understand the Canadian playspace safety standard from CAN/CSA Z614 “Children’s Playspaces and Equipment” and teaches participants how to conduct a hands-on inspection/ audit of a playspace.
The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) currently offers a Canadian Certified Playground Inspector certification through the Canadian Playground Safety Institute (CPSI) for individuals who complete the CPSI Theory and CPSI Practical Courses and achieve passing grades on both exams. The certification is valid for a three year period and can be renewed by completing a recertification exam either online or in the classroom. These courses are also open to participants outside of Alberta. Individuals who only want to take the Theory Course are welcome to attend. However, the Theory Course is a prerequisite for the Practical course, whether you complete it during this session, online or elsewhere at any time within the 12 months prior to the course. Inspectors with recently, or soon to be, expired certifications, may recertify by taking the Practical Course and rewriting the classroom recertification exam. If you are recertifying, please indicate your intent by marking the recertification box on the registration form.
If you have questions about these courses or certification, please contact CPSI by email at cpsi@cpra.ca, by phone toll-free at 1-877-536-2338 or visit the training and education/playground safety website pages at www.cpra.ca.
