Taking the CPRP course with OmniPear, has been an amazing professional experience and personal journey. From the very beginning, the program delivered a balance of depth, inspiration, and clarity.
The curriculum is thoughtfully structured around the same core knowledge areas professionals are tested on — from communications and finance to human resources, operations, and programming. That connection gave me confidence that every module was preparing me not just to do well on the exam, but to also be adequately prepared for business in the parks and recreation industry after the exam.
What truly sets OmniPear apart, however, is the guidance and presence of the instructors. They doesn’t simply teach — thhe mentors, uplifts, makes you laugh, and inspires you to see yourself as capable of achieving more than you could have imagined.
Through this course, I’ve gained not only the skills and knowledge to pursue my CPRP credential with confidence, but I’m also walking away with a deeper sense of purpose. OmniPear, I strongly believe, is more than a provider of education — it’s a movement that fosters excellence, growth, leadership, and, in my case, self-discovery.

I decided to buy this training course because I could listen to what was being taught instead of having to scroll through the slide decks offered through the NRPA resources.
The knowledge checks along the way and the end of course practice exam were helpful. Sir Dion was extremely quick to respond through the message portal. This course was useful to me and definitely worth it if you can purchase it during a sale. I encourage you to use this along with the practice exams in the NRPA study guides.
