⭐ Another great review from our Level 3 STA Pool Plant Operators course! ⭐

Two weeks ago, we delivered a sold-out Level 3 STA Pool Plant Operators (PPO) Qualification at Pontypridd Lido, with 16 learners joining us from various pools over the three-day course.

A big thank you to Sam for taking the time to leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review after attending.

It’s great to hear that the training was informative, well-paced and accessible, even for those with limited previous experience. That’s exactly what we aim for—delivering practical, high-quality training in a way that’s engaging without being overwhelming.

👏 Well done to all 16 learners, and a big thank you to Chris for delivering another excellent course.
