A growing recognition of the National Swimming Pool Foundation’s commitment to impartial, science-based classroom and online training programs has driven worldwide demand for NSPF training programs, says the organization. Successful instructor school candidates earn access to all NSPF materials at discounted prices. Candidates must have either a valid CPO® certification or may contact NSPF for details on how to qualify for the instructor course.
Instructor classes have limited space and due to high demand and low teacher to student ratios 1:5, they often sell out. To register, contact [email protected], or by telephone to 011-719-540-9119, or via FAX to 011-719-540-2787, or by SKYPE Silvia.Uribe1, with payment by Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.
The NSPF Instructor course covers teaching methodologies, use of teaching aids and equipment, learning theories, lesson planning with PowerPoint® presentations, administrative policies and procedures, and graded practical teaching exercises. The cost for participating is US $695, which includes tuition, all class materials, and lunch each day.
About 25,000 professionals are trained with NSPF educational materials each year and NSPF instructors have trained over 300,000 professionals in 70 countries.
