Enrol for the internationally recognised certification - National Swimming Pool Foundation Certified Pool Operator (CPO®) certification through Aquatics Information. This is either a two-day classroom course or online plus one day in the classroom. For both of these, you will need to complete an open book multiple-choice exam at the end of the course in the classroom. This means that at the end of the classroom work, once you pass the exam, you will be issued your Certified Pool Operator (CPO®) certification.

Aquatics Information is now working with SPASA (Swimming Pool and Spa Association) Australia (RTO) to give students the option of obtaining an extra certificate, once they pass the CPO course. This extra certificate would give them the 4 VET modules below;
- BSBRSK401 - Identify risk and apply risk management processes
- SISCAQU001 - Test pool water quality
- SISCAQU003 - Maintain aquatic facility plant and equipment
- SISCAQU004 - Develop and implement pool water maintenance procedures
The workbook that students complete, once they pass the CPO course, has some practical components and some policy/procedure/OHS components.
In South Australia, the CPO certificate is recognised by the South Australian Health Department as a stand-alone course and sufficient for Pool Operators to be classed as competent operators. Some other States in Australia may require the extra 4 module certificate as well as the CPO certificate so please check with us if you are not sure.
