How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae

.

Algae Prevention & Eradication Specialist Certification

• ^{Purchase the How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae book before you begin – there is stuff in that book you’re gonna need.}
• ^{5 lectures are followed by a 10 question multiple choice open book quiz. Why take a 50 question test all at once if you don’t have to.}
• ^{You do have to watch at least 90% of the lecture to advance, but we’re not going to let a score other than 100% on a quiz hold you up – you only need an 8 out of 10 in our class to advance.}
• ^{This is not a ‘one and done’ test – you get two shots! So, no need for stress if you fall shy the first go at it. Not only that, but you’ll have 90 days to complete the 6-hour program.}
