CPS Training Courses

NHTSA has developed the following CPS training courses. They provide accurate, up-to-date occupant protection to CPS advocates who work with State and local CPS programs to promote the correct use and installation of appropriate child safety seats.

NHTSA CPS Technician Certification Program

The National Standardized Child Passenger Safety Training Program was created to meet the growing need for people with a high level of CPS knowledge and a standardized set of qualifications.  Training is intended to prepare individuals for the real-life situations they will encounter when helping families learn about properly installing child safety seats and securing their children.  Becoming a confident and competent technician requires many hours of supervised seat installation practice beyond this course.
