Pool & Spa Educational Opportunities

The following organizations offer educational and certification opportunities for the pool & spa service professional across the United States.

Some classes are in person; some are online; some require reservations; and most require a fee.

We urge our readers to take advantageof as many of these opportunities as possible.

Pool and spa service technicians deal with people’s health and safety, and as such, perhaps the job should require certification and state licensing.

Although no such national standard currently exists, perhaps the professional responsibility is in the hands of the pool and spa service professional, because he or she is caretaking over people’s lives everyday by visiting that residential and commercial pool and spa.

Consider too, how education and training can help your business, and increase professionalism throughout the entire Service Industry.

The sponsoring organizations provided the information and Service Industry News is not responsible for any incorrect information.
