“You definitely made the CPO journey much easier! You gave me the wiggle room I needed to continue doing my job while getting this certification. I had been worried about the exam but after your guidance and review of examples, it made me much less nervous about the exam!”-LIAM D, Certified 10/14/21
“ I'd rate you 5 out of 5 stars all day”-SCOTT K, Certified 10/13/21
“I recently signed up for the CPO certification class with Chad Bland at Pool Certs. I had a few questions and he answered them all very quickly and sent me the CPO handbook very quickly as well. During the in-class day of the school, he went over several of the formulas for determining dosing, pool gallon calculations, etc. which was extremely helpful. He gave us his phone number, email address, and said that if we had questions to text, email, or call him. I have done all three and he has been an excellent resource. I highly recommend Chad, as I believe he really is a pool professional.”-DAVID P, Certified 08/19/21
