There was a good review of the handbook That made finding information during the test easy Also, good review of calculations I felt very comfortable doing the calculations during the test, thanks to the class instruction August gave us time to finish writing notes and do calculations by pausing or telling relevant real-life stories and useful information That gave us time to ask questions and thoroughly understand the material before we moved on to the next topic There were people from many parts of the country taking the course It made me see that pools and spas were everywhere! During the breaks, I could talk to my family and grab some food and drinks because I was at home. August is very knowledgeable He seemed to do well controlling the flow of the instruction during the day, so we could get it done on time..

How We Collect and Share Student Feedback

Student feedback plays an important role in maintaining high training standards at Ursin Aquatic Pool Academy. After each CPO course, we invite students to share their experience regarding course content, instructor clarity, pacing, and overall value. As a result, future students gain a clearer understanding of what to expect before enrolling.

Because we offer CPO courses both in person and online, experiences may vary slightly depending on format. However, we design every course to follow nationally recognized standards and prepare students for certification with confidence. In addition, our instructors focus on clarity and practical application throughout each session.

We publish student reviews without editing for tone or sentiment, ensuring transparency and authenticity. By sharing this feedback openly, we help prospective students make informed decisions while continuing to improve our instruction.
