I had a very good experience with David Turnage. I received what was probably my best test score ever. I do believe that David's teaching style and advanced knowledge of the information was a big part of it. While I was very nervous of the online platform David very quickly removed a lot of my anxieties with the pre class communication. Highly recommend Turnage & Associates for any of your CPO and pool knowledge needs. Maggie W.

The trainer has the rare perspective of an experienced expert witness in court cases involving public pools and hot tubs. Combine that knowledge with the abilities required to safely operate and maintain public pools as a CPO, sprinkle in some levity and marinate with genuine enthusiasm and you not only learn the material, you want to use what you learn. I have taken several courses over the last three decades and none of my previous instructors could make the hours seem like minutes like he can. Miguel Angel (Mike) R.

A supremely qualified and competent instructor. His years of experience in the industry, as well as in teaching CPO courses, give him both practical experience and an exhaustive knowledge of the subject matter. His willingness to impart what he knows and to seek the success of his students is readily apparent.
