Child Occupant Safety Project / Child Safety Technician Certification Course

The Child Occupant Safety Project is holding a Child Passenger Safety Technician certification course in Schley County beginning Tuesday, October 31, 2023 through Friday, November 3, 2023. The class will be located in Schley County Sheriff’s Office Training Room, 49 North Pecan St, Ellaville, Georgia. The class will run Tuesday through Thursday 8 am – 5 pm and Friday 8 am – 2 pm.

This four-day course will provide participants with the knowledge regarding best practices, hands-practice, and a national certification through Safe Kids Worldwide. As a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST), they can put their knowledge to work through a variety of activities, including community presentations and/or child safety seat checks where parents and caregivers receive education and hands-on assistance with the proper use of child restraint systems and seat belts.

This training is pertinent for law enforcement, hospital staff, firefighters, EMS personnel, childcare professionals, transportation professionals, and the public at large. By completing this course, they’ll join the team of over 41,000 nationally certified CPSTs and have a direct, positive impact on their community.
