A new technical training program designed to provide pool professionals with a competitive edge on product installation, service, repair, and troubleshooting has been launched by Zodiac Pool Systems.
The program, called the Zodiac Academy, started in August with the first of more than 70 live technical services schools. These schools will be conducted in cities across Canada and the United States through May 2015, each comprising two-day training sessions on a variety of products including market-specific items. During the summer season, webinars and video training will be available for industry professionals to use as time permits.
“Recognizing the importance of training in the industry, Zodiac is making a significant investment and putting our most experienced trainers in the field and a comprehensive set of resources online,” said Troy Franzen, managing director of Zodiac Pool Systems-Americas. “Our goal is to raise the level of knowledge and achievement for those in the field who really keep the industry alive.”
Veteran pool professionals Rocco Russo, Alex Krajewski, and Gary Scott, who have more than 70 years of combined experience in the industry, will lead courses on gas heaters, chlorine generators, variable speed pumps (VSPs), automation and lighting with hands-on simulators, and specially developed education modules.
