The Industry’s highest certification combined with the most advanced training for builders.
This moment in history demands a new type of building professional who can establish the right goals, communicate the right ideas, and who can consistently deliver effective results to clients. APSP’s CBP Certification Prep Course and the Builders Institute are designed to be transformational learning experiences; challenging your current ways of thinking and helping you to perform at the top of your game. This special combination of programs will help you become the kind of professional our industry needs—and at this moment in history, demands.

The Builders Institute is an intense two-day program of seminars for pool and spa builders.  Additionally, if you have 5 or more years of industry experience and the required continuing education credits, you can apply to sit for the CBP exam and take the 5 hour exam prep course as part of this program.  Click to download the APSP CBP application package.  Advance preparation for the exam is encouraged, so apply and register as early as possible in order to receive your Builders Manual.  Once earned, your CBP credential will place you among a select group of experts who have distinguished themselves by having achieved the highest level of professional certification in the industry.
