The Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) training was developed by the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada (CPSAC), a nationally-recognized, standardized, professional training and certification program provided by instructors in all provinces and territories. SEATS for Kids delivers this training in Ottawa and across Eastern and Central Ontario.

Students will learn about the various types of restraint systems and stages, how to install various types of car seats, and vehicle restraint laws in Canada. Students will also be required to participate in a short car seat clinic with the focus on educating parents and assisting with installation of their child restraint system.

The training includes two and a half days in a classroom setting and a 3-4 hour hands-on practical exam at a car seat clinic. This course will take place Wed, Thurs and Friday from 9am to 3pm and Saturday from 8:30am to 1:30pm.
