NRPA is proud to announce the release of
updated study materials to coincide with
the newly updated Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) certification,
whose core competencies stem from the
recent job task analysis on the role of park
and recreation professionals. The study
materials include a revised study guide and five expanded online courses covering the topics of human resources, operations,
programming, finance and a new communication competency.
The study materials also include a new practice exam with even
more practice questions to better prepare you for the types of
questions on and the length of the official CPRP exam.

All NRPA Schools are held at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling,
West Virginia, unless otherwise noted.
