NPC Start-up Technician Certification Class

A new or newly plastered pool requires special start-up procedures to ensure the plaster cures properly.

The Start-up Technician Certification Program is a National Plasterers Council (NPC) initiative to set forth the proper protocol for a pool’s initial start-up.

With this program, the NPC has established the industry’s standard for the start-up and care of plastered pools across the globe.

NPC Certified Technicians have industry knowledge and hands-on experience to provide a quality startup for in-ground swimming pools and spas using the NPC method taught in the certification class.

The NPC Start-up is available as an in person class at the following events:

Saturday, April 27, 2024 — Startup Certification Ft. Myers, Florida Online Start-up Class. No travel, no expenses! 4-hour class at your home.

For more information visit our website:https://www.national plastererscouncil.com/npc-startup- technician-certification-onlineclass/. We also offer this as a 3-hour on demand class, with a test at the end of the presentation.

Cost is $225 for NPC members and $325 for non-members.
