How long did it take for your CPST card to come in the mail? I read somewhere 20 business days. Its been 19 today, but the website still does not even show that I am certified yet. I know I passed - the instructors were able to check the exams after we finished the test.
Thanks!

Let me tell you my horror story about getting my certification.
I took my class and passed both the written and hands on exams in June of 2005.
My certification did not get entered into the Safe Kids system until Feb 2006! :eek:
I had to go online last month to print my own card.
Only good thing I can think of out of all of it is- I don't have to recertify until Feb 2008!

Mine took a little over a month I think, not quite 6 wks.

It also took me closer to 6 weeks.

Its my understanding they do not send out tech cards anymore. You can print out a card from your online profile section after you have logged in.

Thanks for the input everyone. I checked the online status today and its still not showing my certification, so I called. The 877 number was only able to confirm that my results have not been processed and they have no idea when they will be. Helpful! I have a carseat check event tomorrow and was hoping to be official!
