Certified Pool Operator
The Certified Pool Operator 11-hour course provides Certified and Registered Pool Operator (RPO) training as required by the Utah Department of Health and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This comprehensive training program covers pool and spa management, regulations, testing, chemistry calculations and chemical feed, contamination and disinfection, water balance, circulation and filtration, heating and air conditioning, maintenance and troubleshooting, and state and federal governmental statutes. Participants from other states are welcome.
Participants must pass an examination given at the end of the training to receive their certification, which is valid for a period of five years. The course fee includes a training manual, which is a valuable resource and reference to troubleshoot a broad spectrum of functional problems.
Note! All CPO courses and recertification courses are offered live on campus or via a concurrent live webinar. Participants who attend by webinar need a computer with Internet access, a Gmail account, speakers, a microphone, and webcam, and will receive instructions on how to join the webinar after registration.
