Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) Training Course

The course dates are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Wednesday to Saturday October 1, 2, 3, &, 4, 2025, in Kincardine.

The fees for the course include CPSAC membership fees and certification (for 3 years), personal liability insurance when volunteering, textbook, classroom and clinic supplies. 

Funding for police, fire or any charitable sector employee has been provided by a grant to the United Way by the Community Foundation Grey Bruce. 

Four spaces are available for private businesses (car dealerships etc) at a cost of $450 per person for all four days.

Certificates are issued through the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada, and require participation in all 4 days including classroom hours, a multiple-choice knowledge assessment (open book) and the seat check clinic.

All course materials will be provided. The aim is for the course to be as hands-on as possible. Because trainees will be climbing in and out of vehicles, it is important that to dress appropriately. Please wear comfortable, casual, clothing and appropriate footwear.

The course is four days in length. The course location is at Knox Presbyterian Church located at 345 Durham Street, Kincardine, with Kincardine Fire Dept to hosting the actual Saturday car seat clinic.

There is parking available. The classroom is located within the church on the lower level, enter through the rear door – there will be signs. The course dates are Wednesday to Saturday October 1, 2, 3, &, 4, 2025.

All course days will begin at 8:30 am and end at 4:30 pm. There will be scheduled breaks and lunch periods. The course curriculum requires a minimum of 24 hours of teaching time plus clinic. Our days together will be full and long, but fun!

 As adult learners you are responsible for your learning. Please limit distractions and try not to be working on anything else during the course.
