What is the Certified Pool/Spa Operator Program?
The PHTA Certified Pool/Spa Operator (CPO) Certification is recognized by local and state authorities as the most widely-accepted, verifiable pool and spa training credential. Each year more than 30,000 professionals learn how to more efficiently operate safer aquatic facilities with this program. The CPO Certification is valid for five years. This is an approved National Environmental Health Association course which will earn you 16 CEUs. The CPO program is widely accepted nationally and internationally, including by DHEC in South Carolina.
Throughout the 16-hour course, students will discuss safety, regulations, water chemistry, turnover requirements, and a variety of other related topics. Local codes and regulations will be presented.

Anyone involved in the management and/or operation of public swimming pool or spa facilities, including hotels, apartment communities, municipalities, health clubs, and community centers. No prerequisite education or experience is required to attend.
