Paul,
What is a "certified professional"? Here in Texas pool builders do not have any licensing requirements. Does one have to take a class from each manufacturer?
This is part of the problem as well. So in Texas you don't need any type of state, county, or city license to do work? Obviously no one is forced to take any classes or training. It's really up to a homeowner to find a trust worthy and insured person to do certain types of work at their house.
Maybe I should move to Texas and build pools if there is no licensing required. Hmmm.......
