How do you become one?

A CPS Tech is someone who is a child passenger safety enthusiast. Techs are people who share their knowledge about child restraints with parents and caregivers at car seat checks, fitting stations, and informal education sessions. Often police, firefighters, and nurses become tech in order to help families in their communities.

Any person over the age of 18 can become a certified tech. A qualified candidate should be interested in occupant safety or child advocacy and should be physically capable of installing child restraints.

A 32 hour certification class can be taken to become a Child Passenger Safety Technician. If the Tech is more interested in pursuing a career in CPS then becoming an Instructor via the Instructor Candidacy program would be a good path to follow.
