Full Course Curriculum
This pool maintenance programme is divided into five well-structured modules, each building on the last.
Module 01: Maintenance Equipment
Get to grips with the tools of the trade. This module introduces you to the full range of pool maintenance equipment — from skimmers, vacuums, and brushes to filtration systems and chemical dosing tools. You’ll learn what each piece of equipment does, when to use it, and how to maintain it for longevity and safety.
Module 02: Cleaning and Maintenance
Discover professional cleaning methods for different pool types, including outdoor, indoor, residential, and commercial pools. You’ll cover surface scrubbing, filter cleaning, backwashing, debris removal, and routine inspection procedures — the daily and weekly tasks that keep a pool pristine and operational.
Module 03: Chemical Balance of Water
One of the most critical skills in pool maintenance. This module takes you through the science of pool water chemistry in plain, practical terms. You’ll learn how to test for and adjust chlorine levels, pH balance, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabiliser — and understand what happens when levels fall outside the safe range.
Module 04: Water Quality Maintenance
Beyond chemistry, water quality involves clarity, temperature, circulation, and biological control. This module covers how to prevent and treat algae blooms, manage filtration cycles, handle waterborne pathogens, and keep your pool water visually clear and hygienically safe for bathers.
Module 05: Pool Safety
Safety is non-negotiable in any aquatic environment. This final module covers risk assessment, emergency procedures, signage requirements, access control, and the legal responsibilities of pool operators in the UK. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to create and maintain a safe pool environment that protects every user.
