SUMMARY:Certified Pool & SPA Operator Course
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DURATION\, DAYS\, HRS:\n\nThree day course including exa
 ms on the last day\, commencing at 8:30 am and finishing at 15.15 pm on th
 e first 2 days and around 16.00 on the 3rd day.\n\nCOURSE AIM &amp\; OBJEC
 TIVES:\n\nThis course teaches you the correct procedures to protect both t
 he swimmers and the pool/water facility owners from recreational water ill
 ness and increase the health and safety in the facilities they maintain. 
  Due to the number of pools within Cyprus alone\, sooner or later\, things
  will change – not least due to European Law affecting all EU members an
 d the implementation of the European standards document EU 15288-2 which C
 yprus has signed is bound by European law to enforce.\n\nMany of us hear t
 hroughout the summer about ear infections\, known as\, “ Otitus Externa
 ” \, which is transmitted by  pool water : many of us have  suffered f
 rom it at some stage  but this is not the biggest medical problem which c
 omes from unclean swimming pools .  The main illness contracted from any 
 form of aquatic facility comes from Giardia (protozoa)\, or Shigella\, (ba
 cteria) both of which can result in Gastroenteritis and in many cases can 
 lead to dehydration causing hospitalization. Sadly\, few people relate suc
 h illnesses back to poorly cleaned pool water and believe they’ve eg eat
 en something which didn’t agree with them or have had too much sun. So\,
  for obvious reasons\, it is vital for anyone who is going to clean a pool
 \, to be trained FULLY and PROPERLY in how to clean water or pool operator
 s /owners are risking the health and\, worst case\, the life\, of anyone w
 ho uses that water. It’s not enough to have a test kit and simply keep a
 dding chlorine: water may be clear but it may NOT be clean.\n\nAt the end 
 of the course\, you will know how to:\n\nCalculate the pool and spa water 
 volumes.\nEvaluate\, lower / raise pH\, Alkalinity\, Calcium and stabilize
 r levels.\nCalculate levels of disinfectant in parts per million given a p
 ool volume and required amount of disinfectant to be added.\nCalculate flo
 w rates\, turnover rates and filter sizes for public \, private or water p
 ark installations.\nDetermine total dynamic head of a pool recirculation s
 ystem.\nDetermine the flow rate from total dynamic head and pump curve cha
 rts.\nCalculate volume of water loss through leakage and evaporation.\nCal
 culate saturation index.\nCalculate horsepower given\, watts\, voltage and
  amperage.\n\nWHO SHOULD BECOME QUALIFIED?\n\nThere should be a trained an
 d certified operator at any pool facility. If the routine maintenance is p
 rovided by a third party service company (the majority of Cyprus pool oper
 ators) then the pool operator should be qualified. The owner or manager of
  a facility or the person responsible for the pool should have a comprehen
 sive knowledge of statutes\, administrative codes\, regulations and common
  practices. The CPO certified pool and spa operators training programme pr
 ovides this education base.\n\nThe course is a 2 day intensive training s
 eminar with an examination at the end lasting around 2 / 3 hours\, as well
  as homework on the first day. The successful candidates must attain a min
 imum score of 75% to be accredited with the C.P.O operator’s licences.\n
 \nASSESSMENT CERTIFICATION:\n\nThe NSPF\, (National swimming pool foundati
 on) C.P.O training course is the most respected pool and spa maintenance c
 ourse in the world with over 250\,000 people trained to date.\n\nOnce you 
 have successfully achieved the pass rate you will be an accredited C.P.O o
 perator for a period of 5 years. You will also ( in that period ) have dir
 ect access to your instructors for added information \, advice and guidanc
 e when required as well as information relayed to you on a regular basis f
 rom the NSPF.\n\nOur aim is to help rather than tell you what to do \, all
  pools react differently depending on various factors and nobody will know
  that individual pool or installation better than you the pool maintenance
  person \, but there are times when you will need that little bit of help 
 \, advice \,guidance and we will always be on hand .\n\nCOURSE PRESENTER: 
 Mr Tony Bell TBA\, NSPF Instructor
