Certification

The National Recreation and Parks Association instituted a National Certification Plan in 1981. The Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association general membership adopted the Connecticut certification plan for recreation, park resources, and leisure service personnel on March 31, 1983. The plan affords a means of attesting to the education and experience qualifications of personnel employed for compensation in recreation, park resources and leisure service, in public, quasi public, and private employment. Membership in the CRPA is not a prerequisite for certification.
