Pool & Spa Service Educational Opportunities

The following is a list of educational opportunities available from multiple U.S. organizations.

Some classes will require reservations; some require a fee and many offer certificates of completion.

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

Pool and spa service technicians deal with people’s health and safety, and as such, the job should require certification and state licensing. Although no such national standard exists, the responsibility should be transferred to the pool service technician because he or she is caretaking over people’s lives. 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 was correct at press time. Service Industry News is not responsible for cancellations or changes.
