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 and worldwide, as well as by Live","cbCaibsKcHZ2SYO3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibsKcHZ2SYO3","pdf",821532,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Welcome\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## Reschedule of Examination\n## Exam Extension\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: Testing at a PSI Test Center\n# Section III: Testing by Live Remote Online Proctoring\n# Section IV: Study Guide\n## General Examination Preparation\n## Study Advice\n## Test-taking Advice\n## Exam Content Outline\n## Reference Materials\n## CPSI Table of Dimensions\n# Section V: CPSI Code of Professional Conduct","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose and desired outcome of the CPSI program?\",\"answer\":\"The purpose of the CPSI course is to enable certified participants to identify hazards, rank hazards by injury potential, and apply knowledge to remove hazards and establish inspection systems.
