RoPPP's Update Seminars

The RoPPP's seminars have replaced 'National Pool Plant Operators Revalidation Courses'. These updates will be delivered by registered NPPO trainer assessors, and are specifically for those who have completed a National Pool Plant Course within the last 5 years.

The ISRM recommends Pool Plant Operators update their knowledge at least every five years, which will also enable them to retain their place on the 'Register of Pool Plant Professionals'.

Click here for details of the RoPPP's scheme.
