NRPA Splash Pad Certificate coming soon!
NRPA Education is proud to announce that in March, we will release a new online certificate focusing on aquatic splash pads. Splash pads have grown in popularity across the nation and this certificate program provides aquatic professionals with insight into the planning, design, operation and maintenance of these features. NRPA’s Splash Pad Certificate Program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to create and implement a water play recreation area for your agency and community. While the certificate is only available to current AFO- and CPO-certified individuals, the courses on planning and design will be open to anyone. The entire certificate will be worth 1.2 CEU.
