Child restraint technicians play a very important role in keeping children safe on our roads. For this reason, the child restraint training programme has been linked to a competence-based system.
To become a child restraint technician you need to have trained in the competence-based system.
There are two options:
- a knowledge-based option
- a technician option.
If you have any questions about the competency based system or want to find out how to become a child restraint trainer or assessor then please email nengneng_jin@nzf.salvationarmy.org .
Find a child restraint trainer or assessor
If you’re looking to become a child restraint technician, you need to get in touch with a trainer or assessor who can guide you through the training and assessment process. The trainer/assessors are contracted to the Salvation Army Education and Employment.
Child restraint trainers hold (in addition to child restraint technician certification) a range of adult education standards. Trainers (who are also assessors) can both train and assess the competence of new people wishing to certify and assess the competence of those wishing to recertify.
Child restraint assessors are registered with the Retail Institute (ITO) and hold (in addition to child restraint technician certification) a range of standards around the assessment of adult learning.
Assessors can assess your competence against both the theory and practical standards whether you are 'recertifying' or becoming certified for the first time. People who are assessors but not trainers are not qualified to train new people wishing to certify.
It is possible for people to train as an assessor, without being a trainer.
Assessors and trainers may be employed by a retailer (or other organisation) but they are independent and are free to train or assess anyone.
The region listed below is where they are located but many of them train groups outside of their area.
