Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) Certification
 
Why become a CPRP?

NRPA’s Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) certification is one of the most sought-after certifications in the park and recreation profession. According to Recreation Management magazine’s 2008 Salary Survey of more than 2000 individuals in the field, of those people who plan to seek new certifications, the most (40%) think they should become CPRPs.

For people now in the field, the CPRP certification tells your peers and your employer that you have met the certification’s high standards of education, expertise and experience. In a phrase, you are a committed professional! Many park and recreation agencies recommend or require CPRP certification when hiring for certain positions.

For students and recent graduates, the certification tells prospective employers that, in addition to your new degree, you have been tested on a wide range of practical knowledge that will allow you to “hit the ground running” as you enter the profession.

Renewal of Your CPRP

After two years, your certification must be renewed. Renewal is simple: just accrue 2.0 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during your certification period and submit them with your renewal application to the appropriate office.

If you are currently certified through a state affiliate, then you must renew through that state affiliate; please check the list here to see if you should renew through a state. If you are certified through NRPA directly, then you can download your renewal form below.

(Please note for CEU Equivalency petition:

Petition forms submitted for any programs that have already taken place must be petitioned within 30 days following the program. (there also is a fee to get approval for these CEU's)

The program allows individuals who are certified as a CPRP with the NRPA office to petition for acceptance of continuing education unit equivalency for courses, institutes, and workshops that do not offer CEUs or college credits. When awarded, CEU equivalents are not actual CEUs and are good only for maintaining CPRP certification.
