$Basic Math Skills Test$

Maintain a positive approach to the exam. Do not create panic by signifying how diffi cult the exam may be. Congratulate all participants for their effort in handling a very demanding schedule while covering a great deal of material. Review the “open book” procedure and emphasize using the NSPF Pool & Spa Operator Handbook to research answers. All questions are covered in the handbook. Establish the maximum time you will allow for taking the examination (minimum is 2.5 hour and maximum for IACET CEUs is 2.5 hour). Breaks are permissible but should be kept short. Exams should not be removed from the area of instructor supervision. Offer a systematic approach to answering the exam questions. Tell participants to go through the entire exam answering questions that are familiar and then go back and research more diffi cult questions. Keep participants informed as to how much time is remaining in the examination period. It is required that each participant do his or her own work. You are to monitor the exam, providing assistance to questions and maintaining a formal and quiet environment. CERTIFICATION POLICY The CPO ® certifi cation and registration is valid for a period of fi ve (5) years from the date of course completion.

POST-COURSE CORRESPONDENCE As soon as possible following the course, participants should be notifi ed of their grades and when to expect their certifi cation. Even during the busiest times, NSPF’s goal is to process certifi cation within three days of receipt of the course certifi cation record, exams, and full payment from the instructor. If they have passed the exam, the students should receive a “congratulations” letter. If they have failed the exam, they should receive a “repeat course” letter. Samples of both letters are available in Appendices H and I. “Thank you” letters should be sent to anyone associated with the planning and implementation of the course. Other staff members and presenters should receive special recognition as well as manufacturers and distributors who supplied products and materials for your program. Also, the facility or sponsoring agency should be acknowledged for their role in the program. COURSE ADMINISTRATION Within two (2) weeks of the completion of your CPO ® certifi cation course, you must submit the following to the National Swimming Pool Foundation offi ce: 1. COURSE CERTIFICATION RECORD You must complete the National Swimming Pool Foundation ® Course Certifi cation Record as shown in Appendix T.
