Pool Operators who have previously passed an Oklahoma approved course may elect to take a Pool Operator Challenge Exam instead of attending a Pool Operator Course. A Pool Operator Certificate valid for 3 years from the examination date will be awarded if a score of 70% or higher is achieved. Contact your local health department sanitarian if you are interested in taking the Pool Operator Challenge Exam. The Pool Operator Training Manual is available and may be used in preparing for this exam. A recorded pool school can also be viewed online.
Many documents mentioned in the video may be found in the Pool Operator Training Manual.
