PPM+
Practical Pool Management Plus is a two-day workshop designed
to teach you the basics of operating and managing a swimming pool.
Become certified as a pool operator after successful completion of this
course.
The Practical Pool Management workshop is a fast-paced one-day pool operator course which highlights the most important topics in pool operations, maintenance and safety including circulation, filtration, chemistry, safety and risk management. Participants will receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the workshop.
This program is designed for those pool or aquatic facility operators or supervisors who, because of the often complicated nature operating a pool, need special education and training in pool operations. This program is ideal for those in the hotel/motel industry as well as for head lifeguards and even those with Certified Pool Operator or Aquatic Facility Operator certification who need refresher training.
Participants who need certification to meet local (or state) health code requirements are eligible to take the PPM examination. Those who pass the written exam with a minimum score of 70% will receive a certificate suitable for framing and will be entered into a database of pool managers certified through Aquatic Safety Research Group. Certification must be renewed every five years.
Those pool operators that need more in-depth knowledge of pool and spa operations, including information on staffing and lifeguard management, should consider taking Practical Pool Management Plus. Click here for more information on PPM+ certification.

The Second Edition is now bigger and better than ever and combines technical aspects of pool operations manuals with practical information of water safety texts.
Using
The Complete Swimming Pool Reference
(2nd Edition) as a foundation for the course, practical tips and
principles not found in other
sources are discussed.
