CPO ® CERTIFICATION BLENDED COURSE RESPONSIBILITIES The blended CPO ® certifi cation course consists of the online Pool Operator Primer and the oneday, classroom-based Pool Operator Fusion training (discussed in Section 4). The Instructor responsibilities for Pool Operator Fusion classes are much the same as with the normal, twoday course, including course completion requirements. Section 4 has a recommended course schedule for the blended course. In addition to the above responsibilities, the blended course requires the instructor to: Verify completion within the past six (6) months of the Pool Operator Primer through the NSPF website by collecting each participant’s printed Record of Completion. The student will be able to print the Record of Completion from their computer. Verify the student identity by checking a government issued photo identifi cation prior to entry into the Pool Operator Fusion class, and sign the Record of Completion. Verify that the student has signed the Record of Completion attesting to the fact that the student independently completed the online portion of the training. This Record of Completion must be attached to the fi nal exam of the student prior to sending it in to the National Swimming Pool Foundation. Samples of the Record of Completion can be found in Appendix E. Accommodate all Pool Operator Primer students on the second day of any two-day CPO ® certifi cation class with seats available. While you are not required to reserve seats only for Pool Operator Primer students, they cannot be turned away from open classes with room available. Realize that due to the nature of the online Pool Operator Primer, participants may arrive at your class with questions and may require extra time to accommodate their inquiries. Cover applicable local and state codes and regulations pertaining to state where the class is held. Be prepared to cover local and state codes and regulations from other states if residents from other states enroll in your class. At minimum provide students with resources needed to obtain their local and state codes and regulations. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Continuing education and professional development are lifelong processes and are the responsibility and challenge of every NSPF Instructor. Membership in professional organizations is recommended. Attendance at trade shows, seminars, workshops, and meetings is another way to keep apprised of the latest technical knowledge and training. Current research, new products, and application theories are available in technical and educational publications. As the industry is continually changing, it is important to have the latest information in order to provide the highest quality of professional service to your participants. INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION POLICY The NSPF Instructor certifi cation is valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of course completion. While your authorization is current, you must teach or co-teach at least one (1) course and submit the proper course record and fees to the national offi ce. “Co-teaching” involves 100% participation in a course while sharing presentations with another instructor. Both instructors are required to sign the Course Certifi cation Record. During the initial year of each authorization period, you may teach without a co-instructor. If you Page 2 © 2014 National Swimming Pool Foundation®
do not teach during the initial year, you may request a one-year probationary extension of your authorization. During that year, you will be required to successfully co-teach a course with a NSPF Instructor approved by the national offi ce. You must submit the proper paperwork and fees to receive credit for teaching and to be removed from probation. Failure to teach within the two-year authorization period will result in withdrawal of your NSPF Instructor certifi cation. Before you will be allowed to teach again, you will have to register for and pay the fee to attend an NSPF Instructor class. For liability reasons, the NSPF Instructor certifi cation is not an authorization to operate a pool facility. The NSPF Instructor certifi cation only authorizes you to teach the CPO ® certifi cation course as well as any new courses developed by the National Swimming Pool Foundation. To operate a pool, you should maintain a current CPO ® certifi cation. Your CPO ® certifi cation will automatically be renewed annually as long as you meet the requirements for recertifi cation as an instructor. INSTRUCTOR RE-AUTHORIZATION POLICY The National Swimming Pool Foundation requires all NSPF Instructors to be reauthorized each year. An instructor is eligible for re-authorization only if they have taught or co-taught at least one (1) CPO ® certifi cation course (traditional 2-day or Fusion) during the prior year, submitted the proper CPO ® certifi cation course record and fees, and paid the annual instructor re-authorization fee. WITHDRAWAL OF CERTIFICATION A NSPF Instructor may be reviewed for “withdrawal of certifi cation” as a result of a written complaint that addresses inappropriate conduct, breach of instructor agreement, or breach of the licensing agreement. A review will be conducted by the National Swimming Pool Foundation following an investigation of a complaint. The NSPF Instructor certifi cation may be suspended temporarily during the investigation. Permanent suspension, provisional instructor status, or recertifi cation may result after the investigation. Suspension decisions will be guided by compliance to signed agreements between the Instructor and NSPF. © 2014 National Swimming Pool Foundation® Page 3
