PilotCourses

The NCPSB will contact lead instructors to use the revised curriculum as a pilot course.

Emailed requests to host a pilot course will not be considered.

Deliberations for potential courses will be based on the following criteria:

•  Course must be registered on cert.safekids.org

•  Instructor Team should be varied with experienced and newer instructors

•  Course length is four days

•  Students have varied backgrounds

•  No current or past board members are included on the instructor team

www.cpsboard.org

Thank you. The National Child Passenger Safety Board,

NHTSA and Safe Kids Worldwide have collaboratively and exhaustively worked to ensure the curriculum revision is thoughtful and

meets the needs of future CPS Technicians.

Your input, patience and support is a valued part of the process.
