Four Day Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification Class This Week in Bluefield
21 child passenger safety technician candidates are attending the certification class in Bluefield this week, October 21-24. Certification classes are generally three full days and one half day, and include lecture, hands-on skills assessments, and quizzes, with a car seat check up event held the last day. Classes are $60 for enrollment, and certification is good for two years before the need to re-certify.
Child passenger safety technicians are needed all across the state! Currently, there are over 150 certified in the state, and eight instructors. Certified technicians participate in local seat check events, like those held across the state on Seat Check Saturday, and many go on to have their own permanent "fitting stations", like Beckley Fire Department every Tuesday between 9am and 11:30am by appointment.
To register for a child passenger safety technician class, call the Highway Safety Office at 304-558-6080. More information can be found on technician certification by going to the Safe Kids website at http://www.safekids.org/.
