FAQ
Can I register under CPSIA Re-Certification after the expiration date?
CPSIA re-certification price is only applied if a student registers for a course that commences before the advised expiration date or as advised by PSIA. If your attempt to register for a course is impacted (e.g. Covid-19 or we have not made a course available) we will extend this discount. Please contact our team if you wish to discuss this further.
I am unsure if I want to enroll as Level 1-2 or Level 1-3, how do I proceed?
If you are unsure what course may be best for you, please do not hesitate to contact our team for guidance.
Do your courses cover the installation process?
As installation can vary from manufacturers and designers, the industry generally relies on the manufacturer to supply the installation instructions, for example, in the state of QLD and some organisations from state to state may require the playground installer to hold a landscape construction certificate at minimum. Our training focuses on compliance of installation to Australian Standards, and on inspection to ensure playgrounds after installation is signed off by an auditor.
Do you (or PlayRight) still supply inspection kits?
PlayRight and Playground Safety Inspectors Pty Ltd no longer supply safety inspection/testing tools/kits – however we recommend you purchase from KOMPAN in your state. Note: allow 5 weeks for delivery
