However, the NRPA does recognize all program participants should acquire the knowledge and specific competencies necessary to attain certification as identified by the CPSI Certification and Exam Committees. This knowledge properly and consistently applied in the field will help to create an experience level necessary to be considered a playground safety expert.  \nExamination Development  \nAll examination items (questions) have been written and reviewed by subject-matter experts representing playground safety experts and practitioners from many geographical regions. These individuals provide the job-related perspective and expertise that underlies valid examinations.  \nIndividuals seeking certification as a CPSI must receive a passing grade on the CPSI certification examination. Maintenance of the CPSI certification requires at least a passing grade on the CPSI certification examination every three (3) years.  \nAbout the Testing Agency  \nPSI Services (PSI) is the professional testing agency contracted by the NRPA to assist in the development of the examination based on the test specifications developed by the NCB in consultation with the testing agency. The testing agency is responsible for proctoring the paper pencil exam, and administration of the computer based exam at test centers throughout the US.  \nSECTION I: ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES AND RULES FOR EXAMINATION  \nServices for Individuals with Disabilities  \nThe NRPA complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act by ensuring that no individual with a disability is deprived of the opportunity to take an examination s","cbCaijU48Y0riQiw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijU48Y0riQiw","pdf",345901,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Examination Development\n## About the Testing Agency\n# Section I: Administrative Policies and Rules for Examination\n## Services for Individuals with Disabilities\n## Services for English as a Second Language Candidates\n## Inclement Weather or Emergency\n## Age and Education Requirement\n## Copyrighted Examination Questions\n## Release of Information\n## Following the Examination and Scoring Results\n## Appeals\n## Re-Examination\n## Scores Cancelled\n## Your Status as a Certified Playground Safety Inspector\n## Recertification\n## Certification Extension Policy\n## Statement of Non-Discrimination\n# Section II: Paper Pencil Exam Administration\n# Section III: Study Guide\n## General Examination Preparation\n## Study Advice\n## Test-taking Advice\n## Exam Content Outline\n## Exam Question Materials\n## CPSI Table of Dimensions\n# Section IV: CPSI Code of Professional Conduct","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CPSI course and certification?\",\"answer\":\"The CPSI program is designed to enable certified individuals to identify and rank hazards, remove hazards, and establish inspection and risk-reduction systems for their agency or playground owner-client.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the CPSI exam developed and who administers it?\",\"answer\":\"Exam items are written and reviewed by subject-matter experts.
