Question List of places to be certified?

Ever since moving to FL and seeing their lousy laws it has motivated me to go back and be certified again as a car seat installer. I was certified about 10 years ago thru NHTSA. I was doing home visits for the county at the time and they paid for it. Where would I find a list of places to check in my area?

Thanks!

Wendy,

Thank you! What does a controlled vs. public course mean? The controlled course is much closer to me and better times. Looks like I would just need to email the instructor, to see if I could get into the controlled course, is that usually the case? I'm very excited to be certified again.

Right, you'd have to email. Sometimes it's a specific course being put on for a group, and so the instructor will say no. Othertimes they're happy to have someone passionate. I'd probably say 25/75 ratios.

If she was certified before, is she eligible for the one-day recert class? Or is there a time limit on that?

I would like to know that :) I didn't think it was an option, since it's been SO long, but I wouldn't mind asking! I still remember a ton of info. The biggest change has been ERF. My instructor was RF her 2 year old in a AO, but it was never taught to do that with clients, when my son was born shortly after, I turned him at a year, and my other son 2 years later. My DD is my only ERF kid.
