Operator training
Ride-specific orientation covering controls, loading procedure, cycle operation, and operator responsibilities.
CSI Training Library
Coming soonTraining for the ride in front of you.
Every amusement ride is different. Operating procedures, inspections, restraints, controls, setup, shutdown, emergency procedures, and maintenance considerations can vary dramatically from one piece of equipment to another.
CSI is building a ride-specific training library designed to put the right education next to the exact equipment an employee is working with. Nothing in it is available yet; everything on this page is planned work, shown so operators can see the direction before it ships.
What the training library is being built to cover.
These are the planned areas of coverage. Individual modules, run times, and assessments have not been produced yet.
Daily inspection training
How to walk a ride before it opens, what to look at, and how to record what was checked.
Setup & teardown
Assembly and disassembly awareness for travelling equipment, including sequence and common hazards.
Maintenance awareness
What maintenance personnel should understand about the ride systems they service and document.
Emergency procedures
Stopping, evacuating, and communicating during an incident, and what has to be recorded afterward.
Safety refreshers
Short recurring modules intended to keep seasonal and returning employees current.
Training by ride
Training will eventually follow every ride.
Instead of a generic employee-training portal, CSI intends to organize training around individual ride models, reachable directly from a Ride Passport alongside its manuals, inspections, and maintenance history.

The ride types above are generic examples used to illustrate how the library will be organised. They are not a course catalogue, and no training content, completion tracking, or employee certification exists today.
Why we are building it
Experienced employees shouldn’t be the only place critical knowledge lives.
Carnivals depend heavily on experienced people teaching the next employee. That knowledge is real and valuable, but it is undocumented. When those employees move on, retire, or work a different route for the season, the operation loses the reasoning behind how the equipment is handled.
CSI’s long-term goal is to help preserve equipment-specific knowledge in a repeatable training system that operators can use year after year.
Planned feature
Training inside the Ride Passport.
Training is planned to live on the same record as the ride itself, rather than in a separate learning system. Opening a Ride Passport would show which modules apply to that equipment and where each assigned employee stands.
That keeps the question simple for a supervisor: has the person operating this ride completed the training for this ride? The answer sits next to the inspection and maintenance history it depends on.
Employee certification and course tracking are not implemented. The panel shown here illustrates an intended design, not a feature you can use today.

Better records. Better training. Safer operations.
CSI is building infrastructure designed around the full life of amusement equipment — from documentation and inspection to maintenance, operation, and training.
