Earning this certification is not just a milestone—it’s a testament to South Florida Custom Pools’ commitment to excellence and professionalism in pool construction.
What is the Certified Builder Professional (CBP) Certification?
The CBP certification is designed to set pool builders apart as trusted professionals in the industry. This credential is the first step in the PHTA’s Certified Pool Builder and Design Professional Pathway, an education and certification program that paves the way for pool builders to become Certified Master Pool Builders and Design Professionals. It equips builders with in-depth knowledge to construct all types of swimming pools while emphasizing safety, quality, and efficiency.
To earn this certification, candidates must:
- Complete a rigorous course through the GENESIS® Construction School, selecting either the Concrete Pools (C201) or Vinyl Liner/Fiberglass Pools (C260) curriculum.
- Pass a challenging exam, demonstrating mastery of essential pool-building principles.
The exam consists of multiple-choice questions covering advanced construction topics, requiring candidates to score 75% or higher to pass. This rigorous process ensures that all CBPs possess a comprehensive understanding of pool construction best practices.
Why the CBP Certification Matters

A Certified Builder Professional is recognized as a professional committed to maintaining higher standards in their work. This credential provides reassurance that your pool is being built by someone who has demonstrated the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver exceptional results.
