"Thank you. I enjoyed the class thoroughly. It was very informative and well presented. I especially liked the online portion of the class. It was much improved compared to the first time I took the online portion of the certification training. I can really tell that your efforts to refine how the course is being presented are paying off."

In-Person Course Testimonials


"I wanted to take a moment and thank you profusely for the stellar class.  The real testament for outstanding instruction is the committed involvement of the participants.  I felt strong about the involvement by my fellow classmates and the relevant questions they asked constantly.  It made for a great experience - and there is no one that can leave after two days and not say they didn't know, or have the available resources to find out.  Your expertise, presentation, and humor pulled everyone into this important (but at times neglected) industry and gave us an eye-full of the challenges we are now to face.  Once again, thanks - it was great meeting you and being apart of your class."

 Aquatic Facilities Manager - Denver, CO

 

"Thank you again, Rick for the great instruction. As I told you, this was by far the best CPO class I have ever attended. As a regulator, I really appreciate the pool operator focus of the class. I feel that our operators will be able to take the information presented to them and easily apply it to their individual situations, making their pools better for the public, and better for our regulation and inspection compliance. 

Environmental Health Scientist - Utah


"I took over as head of building maintenance and I inherited two 20,000 gallons outdoor pools with water slides, two seven thousand gallon hot tubs, and around fifteen 650 gallon cedar hot tubs. On top of that I am expected to keep up all our properties. 
I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I you tubed googled researched hours and hours. Stumbling every step of the way.
I know now I have the proper training to absolutely succeed!
Thank You again for all the knowledge you have give me!"

Leo


"Alex, you are a superb instructor!"

Ray - Denver, CO

 

"We ALL enjoyed the class. A ton of actual practical information that we are going to follow up on. I always hate to do those "dumb" evaluations, but I've done our outdoor 50 meter pool for 35 years as well as our Rec Center comp pool, lazy river, and two splash pads so I have taken a few CPO classes along the way. This one was by far the best. You guys rock! Well worth it."

Mark

 

"You are an amazing instructor, Rick. I have already recommended your class to several people."

Jason - Telluride, CO

 

"Alex, thank you very much for the class today.  Both myself and my brother enjoyed your presentation.  You genuinely taught it for us to learn rather than creating a stressful environment that would have made it a difficult day.  Again, thank you very much!"

Kelly - Denver, CO

 

"I wanted to thank you for putting on a terrific cpo class. When I was a regional manager at PEP (pool and electrical products inc.) our branches would host classes for IPSSA and UPA ,two of the main pool service associations in so-cal.  The instructors often had credentials and experiences but nothing in comparison to yours. You kept it fun and interesting. I heard a few one liners from the other rooms too. I'm also a member who pays no dues or fee's. I was relieved to know that in Colorado we have knowledgeable pool industry professional like yourself. Thanks for the training."

"Thank you, Rick, for teaching the class the way you did. He presented the information in a very memorable way and inspired me towards greater safety. I really appreciated the compassion and care that he spoke with when he told us of the cases of children that had been injured or killed due to neglect."

Joshua - Fort Collins, CO

"Thank you for hosting an enjoyable and informative pool training class. Max and I are now working to enhance the standards at our facilities. I think this is a great curriculum and I found the teaching style to be mellow yet focused. I can tell the instructor made the effort to "read" to the students and took the time to help each one comprehend the material. Keep up the good work!"
