JTL Level 3 Pool Plant Operator Certificate
The JTL Level 3 Pool Plant Operator Certificate provides the necessary knowledge and understanding required by pool plant operators in order for them to understand the requirements for the efficient and safe operation of all types of swimming pools to the standards expected in the active leisure industry of today, and is appropriate for:
-
- All those involved in the day-to-day operation of pools.
- Those who are responsible for the management of pools.
- Individuals in the industry who wish to have their experience and knowledge recognised
- Physiotherapists
- School caretakers
- Holiday park operatives
This programme has been developed to allow a training opportunity for learners who are unable to attend a face to face delivered course and who do not need a regulated qualification as such, but still require evidence of relevant industry based training which is suitable, sufficient and current.
Dependent on the type of pool you work in, it may be more appropriate to undertake the
JTL School, Hotel, and Hydrotherapy Pool Operator Training Programme* which is focussed on smaller pools.
Learners who require a regulated qualification, will either need to attend a face to face delivered programme at one of our training venues: i.e.
Active IQ Level 3 Award in Managing Pool Plant Operations (RQF), or purchase and complete our online Blended version of the Active IQ Level 3 Award at a cost of £325.00 + VAT (you can find this on our Online Courses listings)
.
