Upcoming course dates:
The course is 32 hours (4 full days): 9:00am-5:00pm each day (Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday).
NOTE: Under current Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada (CPSAC) COVID-19 policies for in-person CPST Training, current case numbers and the instructor having a vulnerable respiratory system, students will be required to wear masks during the course. Masks may be removed during breaks (outdoors, only) but will be required during in-car skills activities, as this may require being inside other student’s vehicles and could require more than one technician inside a vehicle at the same time. By registering you are acknowledging that you will adhere to these protocols. If you are unable to wear a mask, we invite you to join us when the CPSAC masking policies are modified in the future. Students are required to perform a health assessment before coming to class each day. Students who fall ill or exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 will be asked to leave class, and will be rescheduled for the next future class in 2021 or 2022.
100% attendance is mandatory for both the classroom and clinic portion. Most students find they need a certain degree of physical dexterity to do this work, though skilled technicians are able to coach parents without ever touching a seat.
