Completion of NSPF Certified Pool/Spa Operator (CPO) program is a requirement for the Genesis 3 Design Group's new Education to Service Professional certification.

The Genesis 3 Design Group has forged a partnership with the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) for the group's new Education to Service Professional certification program.

The NSPF's Certified Pool/Spa Operator (CPO) certification will be one of the three educational requirements for the new program, which is designed to help pool and spa professionals enter the remodelling, construction and service markets. In addition to a valid CPO certification, the program also requires a passing grade on the Genesis Construction School and attendance in David Tisherman's 'Understanding the Elements of Renovation of Pools & Spas' class.

"The CPO certification program exemplifies the training we would expect from a Genesis 3 professional," said Skip Phillips, cofounder of Genesis 3 and Pool & Spa Marketing contributor. "NSPF is recognized around the globe as having the world's leading, verifiable pool and spa training credential. As Genesis 3 continues to expand beyond U.S. borders, the NSPF multilingual, metric offerings and online training opens the door of education to broader regional professionals."
