About

World Parks Academy Webinar: Playground Maintenance Training Technician Program

The Playground Maintenance Technician (PMT) training program is the most comprehensive, long-standing maintenance and inspection training program in the country. It teaches systems, process, and best practices in proactive maintenance. The PMT program has successfully trained boots-on-the-ground staff in school districts, parks, and risk management pools across the country, equipping their staff with the knowledge, skills, and practices to most effectively prevent incidents and minimize liability.

The PMT started in 2010, and was designed specifically by risk professionals, park professionals, academic specialists, and the playground community to provide real-life, practical and applicable solutions to maintenance needs. It's a two-day, in-person training chalked full of case studies and interactive, hands-on learning designed to give participants the best opportunity to apply and implement the concepts taught throughout the course.
