Tech I, Tech II and CSP are the three qualifications upon which the spa and pool industry base their standards. To obtain a CSP, both the Tech I and Tech II are required beforehand and a further 40 hours of APSP and NESPA approved educational attendance along with a minimum of 5 years experience has to be accomplished. A 3 hour examination then concludes this and the CSP is achieved.

This Mechanical Engineering Certificate, obtained in Pretoria, South Africa, was my first experience of post - school education. The requirements to engage in this certification was a 12th grade graduation and the fulfillment of 2 years of following engineering experience (after the 3 years of college) with the company that employed me, South African Telkom. I completed this successfully, and, without reservation - accredit the accuracy and attention to fine detail that I apply to my work and projects to the  fine education I obtained from this corporation at a time when South Africa excelled in the engineering field, and provided education on a world standard second to none.
