New NSPFĀ® Certification for Pool & Spa Service Professionals

Colorado Springs, COLORADO, February 22, 2017 - The National Swimming Pool FoundationĀ® (NSPFĀ®) is pleased to introduce a comprehensive blended training program to the aquatic industry: Advance Service Technicianā„¢ Course. The NSPF product development team has been hard at work to create a 45-60 hour blended online and in-class course that provides knowledge on equipment installation, maintenance, repair, and more.

The Advanced Service Technicianā„¢ Course is designed to deliver the required knowledge and skills to pool and spa service, professionals. The student will gain an ASTCM certification once the seven online courses are completed, a classroom session is attended, and the student passes the certification exam.

The following are the Advanced Service Technicianā„¢ online courses:

  • Introduction

  • Fundamentals

  • Management

  • Managing Risk

  • Workplace Safety

  • Routine Maintenance

  • Installation & Repair

The Advanced Service Technicianā„¢ blended course has the opportunity to revolutionize the aquatic industry. It provides everything a residential pool and spa professional would need to know in one convenient package, from customer service to installation and repair.

NSPF has partnered with the Northeast Spa & Pool Association (NESPA) to deliver this new training program to NESPA members in the northeastern region of the US. ā€œThe AST certification is exactly what we needed in the northeast as it gives all of our industry members an alternative certification, which is a prerequisite for our Service Contractors Licenses in Connecticut and New York,ā€ began Lawrence Caniglia, Executive Director of NESPA.  ā€œIt is a wonderful opportunity for industry members who prefer to learn in an online format while still offering a day of in-person learning in the blended program.ā€

Students can also receive IACET CEUs for all courses with the Advanced Service Technicianā„¢ online program and classroom course. To learn more about how to earn an ASTCM certification, please email [email protected] or call 719-540-9119.
