For decades, CES and our customers have experienced the concept that “Education is the Key” to optimum pool operation. That is why we now offer 4 great ways to train managers and staff on a variety of topics. You can even get valuable continuing education credits (CEUs) toward renewing your Florida Department of Professional Regulation (DPR) license.
These training opportunities range from two-day internationally accredited pool operator certification courses required by most DOH codes…all the way to one-on-one, belly-to-belly training in your equipment room. There’s also a full array of online, interactive classes at your pace, and remote learning classes, and even a hybrid pool operator certification class.
Traditional Face-to-Face Seminars: Provided to a group at your facility or a centralized location (All social distancing requirements applied). Please check the CES Class Schedule website page for schedules.
- These have been a popular mainstay at CES since the 1980s, and are led by experienced CES Pool Manager/AFO instructors with an average of 20 years of in-field experience.
