Aquatic Management Series Administrative Guidelines
COURSE DESIGN
The Aquatic Management Series currently consists of four courses. These courses are: Aquatic
Risk Management (ARM), Emergency Response Planning (ERP), Aquatic Facility Audits (AFA)
and Recreational Water Illnesses (RWI).
There are two delivery methods for these courses. Each course can be taken as an online selfpaced
course that should take approximately 2-4 hours to complete. Courses can be taught by a
NSPF Instructor who has completed the requirements to teach the course.
The requirements and time interval for each course, if taught in a classroom setting, are present
independently below.
INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENTS:
An NSPF Instructor becomes eligible to teach the Aquatic Management Series courses by fi rst
completing the online training course for each program. The Instructor may contact NSPF to gain
access to the courses. Once completed, the Instructor must provide NSPF with the records of
completion for the courses.
RECORD OF COMPLETION
Students completing the online course are able to print their own Record of Completion certifi cate.
Students completing the classroom course with an NSPF Instructor will be mailed a Record of
Completion certifi cate.
