This course is offered at various times and locations during the year and is sponsored by by The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance. Our goal is to provide practical knowledge concerning pool operation, introduce new ideas and technology available in the industry, and to provide information to assist your personnel in reducing the cost of operating your swimming pools. This course is designed not only for the pool operator but also provides information that will be valuable to aquatic supervisors, pool managers, retail store operators, and recreation and maintenance directors and their staff.
The goal of the Certified Pool-Spa Operator(CPO) Safety program is to educate and train your staff, responsible for your aquatic facility, how to maintain a healthy and safe facility at all times.
The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance protects and advances the common interests of the industry by providing education, advocacy, standards development, research, and market growth to increase our members' professionalism, knowledge, and profitability.
Recognizing the need for trained operators to manage public and commercial pool facilities, NSPF® in 1974, developed the Certified Pool Operator program. On April 1, 2018, PHTA was formed, joining The National Swimming Pool Foundation & APSP Association of Pool & Spa Professionals.
