Standardized Child Passenger Safety Technician Training Program

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created a standardized course to teach a variety of professionals how to help parents do a better job of protecting their children by:

• Developing technical skills regarding child passenger protection
• Identifying misuse and correcting it
• Becoming a community resource
• Educating others in child passenger safety issues
• Reducing potential liability

This four day course involves hands on experience, critiquing and installing car seats.  Persons who complete the course and pass required testing will become entry-level technicians certified by AAA.
