The Certified Pool-Spa Operator Course

Did you know that the CPO certification is only valid for 5 years?

 Every 5 years the coursework and test must be retaken by individuals servicing public pools to maintain Pool Operator Certification! 

Course Details:

 NSPF certifies those persons who successfully complete the 16 hours of Certified Pool-Spa Operator instruction & pass the examination. The standard CPO class is taught over a 2-day period. The CPO certification is valid for 5 years. The course is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to operate & manage public pools & spas. The Certified Pool-Spa Operator class fulfills the local & state requirements for certification for pool service technicians as defined in many states, including Florida.
