9/28/2019Time and again, members note that traditional certification courses offer too much unnecessary information that leaves students confused and unprepared in the real world. Unlike traditional courses, the PPSO® course provides everything commercial operators need and nothing they don’t—setting up commercial operators for success on day 1.




The new course focuses on delivering core content around the actual tasks that need to be done to service a pool system:

How to interpret and apply state and local codes.


How to identify and address chemical and physical safety concerns.
