APSP expanded its educational offerings with international partners by conducting two training programs in Mexico and the United Kingdom this past November.

The British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association held the first Certified Hot Tub Technician course in the United Kingdom on November 27-29. Held at the Pollet Pool Group in Newbury, the three-day course ushered in a new era in hot tub training for U.K.-based professionals.

“We’re so pleased to be able to roll out this program,” says Chris Brady, APSP CHTT instructor. “Through hard work and persistence, we’re raising the professional bar here in the U.K., and I’m proud to be working with APSP and BISHTA to deliver that.”

The Asociación de Profesionales de la Piscina hosted a Pool & Spa Construction Course, with instructor Rick English from English Pool Consulting, as part of their Train-the-Trainer Session in Monterrey, Mexico on November 27-29.

“This new partnership allows us to advance the industry to the next level of excellence,” says Ignacio Barroso, president of APPAC. “We are excited to offer quality industry education in our local market. Through sharing best practices and skills, we can work on advancing our market and the industry as a whole.”

“We are thrilled about expanding our international offerings,” says Maria O’Hara, APSP director of education. “We look forward to offering programs that will provide valuable skills and experiences for these students as well as our domestic students. We want to help prepare students to work in the pool, spa and hot tub industry abroad as well as within the United States.”

Additional international education opportunities will be released in the coming weeks. More information can be found at APSP University.
