Questions before you enroll?

Find details about worldwide availability, measurement tracks, course delivery, and the enrollment steps. Read the full worldwide CPO FAQ →

Is online CPO enrollment available worldwide?

Scheduled CPO cohorts are delivered live online via Zoom, so students can join from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. Class dates and track availability come from the published enrollment cards.

Can I choose an Imperial or Metric measurement track?

The available class cards determine whether Imperial alone or both tracks are offered. Imperial and Metric students attend separate Day 1 Zoom sessions, and Day 2 is the same combined session for everyone.

Is the online CPO course live or self-paced?

The scheduled course is live, instructor-led Zoom training. It is not a self-paced video course. The self-paced Pool Operator Primer (POP) is completed before class, and POP access codes are sent after enrollment payment.

How do I enroll in an online CPO class?

Select an available class, select the offered measurement system, complete the enrollment details, choose “Proceed to Checkout,” and finish secure Stripe checkout.
