“Number one, I say Ron [sets your courses apart]. Ron being the teacher of that class definitely engaged me to want to learn. I’ve never been a good student myself, always struggled through schools, so even sitting in 5 1/2 hours of traffic on my way back home to Tracy, I was still excited to go back to the classroom the second day… The CPO course has helped me with confidence in knowing that I can figure out anything that’s wrong with the chemicals now that I’ve taken the course.” 

Gerrod Bailey, Tracy Unified High School District

“I had no knowledge of the industry before. The CPO class breaks it down; how to understand water chemistry and what all the different chemicals do for the pool water to feed it, and that’s what a lot of other groups don’t do. So when you leave the [Aqua Source’s] CPO class to go back to your pools, you understand what you’re testing for and what you have to use to balance out your pool water… I’ve heard from other districts that they’ve done CPO in the past and it’s kind of like they get certified, but they don’t come out of the class really understanding what they just got certified for, whereas with the Aqua Source ones, in those two days, you get a crash course on a little bit of everything, and it really helps you understand [how to solve and overcome] obstacles [that pools have from time to time]”.

Israel Goins, San Jose Unified School District
