Park Manager Training Program (PMTP)

The Park Manager Training Program ensures that at least one person is properly certified and trained as a manager for each mobilehome park or recreational vehicle park in California, as specified in California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 2.3 and Health and Safety Code, section 18876.1.

Park managers will have until May 1, 2026, or within one (1) year of the manager’s hire date (whichever occurs later) to comply with the training and examination requirements as specified.

Each park must ensure that at least one person employed as a manager, or acting in an onsite or offsite managerial capacity, is trained and successfully passes an examination. Training and examinations will be provided by HCD-approved third-party providers and will include:

• At least six (6) hours, and no more than eight (8) hours of training, during the initial year, including completion of an online examination.
• Every two (2) years thereafter, the training shall consist of at least two (2) hours, and no more than four (4) hours of follow-up training coursework, followed by an online examination.

The Program requires that the third-party provider issue a certificate of compliance to each park manager that successfully completes the training and examination requirements or a certificate of exemption for park managers that meet an exemption for the training and examination requirements.

The certificate of compliance or certificate of exemption must be posted in a conspicuous location within the park managed.

All parks, regardless of their exemption status, will be required to pay the Certificate of Compliance or Exemption Issuance fee of $350.00 annually. This fee will be assessed at the time a park’s permit to operate is initially issued or renewed. Non compliance could jeopardize a parks permit to operate.

 

THE CALOHA PMTP WILL BEGIN AS SOON AS WE GET APPROVED. 

REGISTRATION TO OPEN SOON

 

The CalOHA PMTP will be offered as an online course consisting of written curriculum and an online final exam. The course will be held through our learning and education platform. 

The mandated Park Manager Training Program has limitations beyond our control and recognizes that the program will not be the robust learning mechanism our members expect.

With that in mind CalOHA will offer a Free 3-hour course on Removals and Evictions to all CalOHA members who complete the PMTP through our learning platform.
