<p>The provision of recreation services is largely dependent on the competencies of the park and recreation professional. One method of ensuring that staff have the knowledge to practice is through the process of certification. Certification provides the agency and individual with standardized criteria that can be used to recognize individuals who have developed the mastery of a particular skill and knowledge in their field. Established in the late 1950s, the Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) program fosters professionalism, provides recognition, and encourages employees to participate in educational and training opportunities. The CPRP also conveys to the public that well-trained professionals are the backbone of the parks and recreation profession, and establishes a standard of high performance for park and recreation professionals.Now in its fifth edition, the Official Study Guide for the Certified Park and Recreation Professional Examination provides up-to-date information that will assist the park and recreation professional in preparing for the CPRP examination. The Study Guide also serves as an excellent source of information for any individual who directly or indirectly works in the field of park and recreation services. Whether used for learning the essentials in the field, for preparing for the certification examination, or as a reference by professionals, the Official Study Guide for the Certified Park and Recreation Professional Examination will help practitioners gain a better understanding of how to develop, administer, and deliver safe and effective recreation services to their constituencies.</p>
