The Certified Pool Operator Course is the national leader in pool safety, operation, and management. Developed and published by the National Swimming Pool Foundation, this course is geared towards raising the level of quality, safety, and efficiency of pool operations. Certification as a CPO provides an increased level of knowledge and resource information to the pool operator.

The CPO Course is an intensive 14 hours of instruction, followed by a challenging 'open book' exam. Students who achieve a grade of 75% or higher on their exam will receive their certification as a Pool/Spa Operator, which is valid for five years from the date of their exam. While we have an excellent pass/fail ratio, it is important to remember that not everyone passes this course; we are teaching important and necessary topics, and NOT selling certifications. Our goal is to present the course material in an understandable and informative manner, so that all students leave the classroom having gained knowledge that will benefit them in their careers as pool operators.

American Pool Consultants is a leader in CPO training, having taught the Certified Pool Operator Course in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Barbados, and Antigua. With over 16 years experience in CPO instruction, our courses are done thoughtfully and carefully, with an eye towards giving our students a solid understanding of the course material. Basic concepts and theories are discussed and explained so that at the end of the course, all students have gained knowledge which will be helpful to them and to their employers.

Our instructors are available to conduct Certified Pool Operator Courses at YOUR location, regardless of where that might be. While we do have requirements for a minimum number of students, the cost of a "private" course for your facility can be quite reasonable, and instruction done in a small group setting can be more effective than in a larger group.
