Mission Statement:

The mission of the Board is to maintain the quality and integrity of the National Standardized Child Passenger Safety Training Program (NSCPSTP). This program is used to train and certify child passenger safety (CPS) technicians and instructors.

Statement of Intent:

The Board works collaboratively with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), who has the ultimate authority over the curriculum, and with the Certifying Body, who has ultimate authority over the certification and re-certification processes. The Board channels insight from their representative organizations to NHTSA and the Certifying Body. It is the intent of both NHTSA and the certifying body to make every effort to solicit the input of the Board and to inform the Board of changes in curriculum, policy and procedure prior to public announcement, however, neither NHTSA nor the certifying body are obligated to do so.
