CPO Course Dates

As the man who brought the PHTA CPO® courses to Cyprus, Tony Bell, the Director and owner of The Pool School would love to be leading the courses, 7 days per week but it’s just not possible!
As well as running a business whose team ‘’walk the walk’’ of the PHTA CPO practices, Tony also offers a ‘’mentor’’ service to PHTA CPO’s who he has trained over the past 12+ years.
Even those who are considering taking the course, regularly call into the office to ask Tony’s advice and help- and it’s given freely to the person asking: if they are serious about making water safer and healthier to swim in
Tony is serious about helping them!
