“SPASA
Industry Training is important to the success of Naughtons Pools and Spas. I
recently sent 15 employees to hydraulics training and I am satisfied that the
tuition my staff received will be an excellent investment in
my business in the long run“
– Justin Hatfield, Registered Building Practitioner and Director of Naughtons Pools
and Spas
“We
highly recommend that anyone involved in the pool industry take advantage of the
excellent industry training conducted by SPASA. The courses offered each year
help to maintain and improve your knowledge and expertise. The training covers a
range of subjects appropriate for both newcomers to the industry, as well as
advanced topics for the more experienced participants.
Furthermore, it is
conducted by extremely skilled and capable instructors. Regardless of the number
of years of your involvement in the industry, we guarantee that you will always
benefit from attending these sessions… and your clients will
notice.”
– Helen
Strangos, Director of The Diamond Pool & Spa Company
"We strongly believe in the SPASA Industry
Training and believe anybody coming into the industry needs to do most of the
courses. As there are no apprenticeship courses covering pool training,
it is essential that people attend these courses run by the Association.
All of our employees have been to various parts of the SPASA Industry Training
and we believe it is an excellent programme run by the Association."
– Noel Pearce, Registered Building Practitioner and
founder of Dolphin Pools
SPASA Accredited as CPD Provider
SPASA Victoria has been formally accredited as an official CPD Provider by the Building Commission of Victoria. This is a positive outcome for the Association and its members, as the national construction industry moves towards federally controlled training and registration systems. It is likely that CPD will become a mandatory criteria for annual pool and spa builder registration renewals. Going forward, this Commission recognition will allow all SPASA promotions and certificates to carry the official program branding:
  
What is Continuing Professional Development ?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a commitment to ongoing learning to improve the knowledge for all in the building industry.
CPD is a program designed to help people working in the building industry achieve their full potential by undertaking learning and development activities. This can include a range of activities, such as structured on-the-job training, industry-based education, committee representation, short course and university education.
Recognition
All SPASA courses will now be recognised as appropriate professional development for registered practitioners within the pool and spa industry. All SPASA Training certificates will now carry both the SPASA branding and that of the Building Commission of Victoria.
This is a significant milestone for the Association and its members and one that will help position the industry peak body as we move toward a more regulated, and educated, professional industry.
