Frequently Asked Quetions

What is a CPO Certification?

CPO stands for Certified Pool/Spa Operator. It is a nationally recognized certification that teaches safe and proper pool and spa operation.

Anyone responsible for maintaining or operating a public or commercial pool or spa, including apartment complexes, hotels, gyms, HOAs, and recreation centers.

Many state and local health departments require at least one Certified Pool Operator on-site. Requirements vary by location.

CPO certification is valid for five years, beginning on the last day of the month in which you become certified.

All classes are 100% live and instructor-led. This is not a pre-recorded course.

Class Formats

  • The Traditional 2-Day Class -  This is the traditional class program and requirement to achieve the CPO Certification. It is 2 full days of classroom time with 14 to 16 hours of instructor contact. The first day we cover about three-fourths of the material, then finish up in the morning on the second day. We review right after lunch the second day, then start the proctored CPO exam.
  • The HeadStart/Preparatory Program - We have an on-line, self-learning, self-paced coarse called Pool Operator Primer (POP). It is designed to introduce students to the curriculum before attending the full 2-Day instructor-led class. It serves as a HeadStart or Preparatory course, allowing students to familiarize themselves with the material ahead of time. Students get the best of both worlds—the flexibility to study the curriculum online at their own speed, plus the advantage of live presentation and interaction with an instructor during the 2-Day class.
  • If a student completes the POP course and presents the "Certificate of Completion" to the instructor, they have the option to skip the first day and attend only the second day of the live class.The course material remains accessible to you indefinitely for future review.
