Below the surface you will find that there is much more to swimming pools than meets the eye. The National Swimming Pool Foundation's (NSPF) Certified Pool Operator (CPO®) course provides a wealth of information to anyone involved in pools. On behalf of NSPF and Deep End Aquatics, you will receive essential training along with other valuable information and resources.

In over 35% of the USA, state law mandates a certified pool operator at all facilities. In fact, this includes New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, Georgia and many other states.

Now is the time to be trained by a licensed professional instructor. We offer many classes at a variety of convenient locations. Additional CPO® courses may be scheduled at your convenience.

Traditional Two Day Course

This is a two-day class that runs 8:30 am - 5 pm both days. The first day is classroom instruction on such topics as water chemistry, pool calculations, risk and liability, management, pumps and filters, etc. The second day you will have a review of pool calculations, go over your governmental state code and take your exam. It is a three hour exam, open book-open notes. You need a 75 percent to pass. Once you pass, you will receive a national certification in 4-6 weeks. It is valid for five years. Early registration, which is registering two weeks prior to the start of the class, is $275. Late registration, which is within the two weeks of the start of the class, is $300.
