CHECK MEMBER CEU'S Click on the Download button below to view member CEU's (CEU's are current as of June 23, 2009) 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. *  For further information regarding National Certification or re-certification options please click on the following link.
