The purposes of the Society's Certification plan are to establish standards for certification in the recreation, park resources, and leisure service profession to provide recognition of individuals who have qualified, and to afford a guarantee to employers that certified personnel have attained stated education and experience qualifications.

This certification plan meets the minimum qualifications of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). Individuals certified under this plan thus qualify for inclusion in the National Roster of certified recreation, park resources, and leisure service personnel.
