Recreation Facility Management Certificate (AARFP/RDP)
The Recreation Facility Management Certificate program was developed in partnership between Red Deer Polytechnic (RDP) and Alberta Association of Recreation Facility Personnel (AARFP), in order to deliver technical and management skills specific to the recreation industry to current and aspiring supervisors and managers.
Alberta Recreation Facility Personnel (AARFP) and Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association (AMHSA) have partnered to offer four educational certification opportunities and technical skills related to the operation of recreation facilities. The four distinct certification programs include: Arena Safety Operator, Aquatics Safety Operator, Building Maintenance Safety Operator, and Parks and Sport Fields Safety Operator.
If you are interested in applying for one of these certificate programs, please email safety@amhsa.net.

Canada-Alberta Job Grant
AARFP Courses qualify! While the eligibility criteria states a minimum of a 24 hour course is required for the training, RFP has assurance that our members can combine the AARFP regular 16 hour courses to equal that 24 hours, and therefore, their employers will still qualify for this grant. Check out all details at: https://www.alberta.ca/canada-alberta-job-grant.aspx (Unfortunately, this grant is not available to municipalities.)
