Hybrid PPSO Certification = PPSO self-paced + one day class with certification exam This is a great and alternative solution offered by APSP that combines the self-paced PPSO plus a one day face-to-face class that includes the certification exam. As with many other subjects, e-learning provides a great solution as students can study at their own pace, in their own time.
Professional Pool and Spa Operator (PPSO) as a Self-paced course This dynamic course takes the student through the Professional Pool and Spa Operator Manual and gives students what they need to know to conform to commercial sector standards.
After completing this course the student will have gained a strong understanding of Safety, Basic Water Chemistry, Pool Circulation and Filtration, Pool and Spa Maintenance, and Water Quality; learned about other important topics such as, record keeping, basic pool math calculations, contamination procedures; water testing, and routine and preventive maintenance, and earned a name for yourself in the commercial pool industry.
Successful students that complete the course and successfully pass the online course exam earn a Record of Achievement, which the student can print. After completing the course, the self-paced Professional Pool and Spa Operator Course continues available to the student for future review for three months.
Students desiring to earn a PPSO certification via the Hybrid path, must complete the PPSO Self-Paced online course and present the Record of Achievement to the Instructor before beginning the class, successfully complete the class, and take and successfully pass the certification exam.
