The National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) now offers two online courses designed for retail, builder, distributor, and manufacturer employees looking to learn the basics of pool/spa operation and water chemistry quickly and easily.The courses, ‘Pool & Spa Basics’ and ‘Water Chemistry Basics,’ will help industry professionals gain the basic knowledge required to effectively perform their job and serve their customers. The Pool & Spa Basics program will teach students the necessary techniques and skills of pool and spa operation, filtration, and circulation, while the Water Chemistry Basics course will teach the fundamentals of water chemistry, water testing, and chemical dosing. This program will also instruct students in the areas of water balance, proper disinfectants, calculations for breakpoint chlorination, how to handle fecal related contamination and other recreational water illnesses (RWIs).

“We developed these programs to meet the needs of these individuals and those new to the industry, who understand that customers expect to find well-informed people on staff, yet, many companies have limited resources to provide employees the knowledge and tools to get there,” said NSPF’s director of education, Alex Antoniou, PhD. “Whether they are answering phones, working the counter with customers, or in the field, these courses will give them the knowledge and confidence they need.”

By making these courses available online, the NSPF allows students to set their own pace and complete them at their convenience, in more than one sitting. Each course contains narration, video, images, quizzes and other interactive learning tools to engage the participant.
