Genesis 3 Inc. Education for pool builders, designers, construction, engineering. Instruct those looking to increas

Throughout its history, the pool and spa industry has struggled to create credible education and certification. The GENESIS educational system was developed to fill that void. Since 1998 GENESIS has set the standard for quality programs, offering hundreds of educational venues internationally for thousands of students, ultimately creating the Society of Watershape Designers and Platinum Certification. As the only third-party accredited education in our industry, we’ve embraced the opportunity to fulfill the quest of like-minded professionals to have true credibility. Our educational programs have been in demand far and wide by those that recognize the quest for excellence and passion of the GENESIS leaders, instructors, students, and members. Classes have been given in Australia, Germany, Italy, France, Bali, Canada, and, of course, the United States. This furthers the Genesis 3 mission to create a global sharing of industry knowledge. The Construction classes are the basic foundation for many, while the advanced hydraulics and engineering courses stretch even long-time builders to push themselves higher. Design classes begin with fundamental pencil drawing, evolve into sketching, and culminate with Computer Aided Design. Artistic classes cover not just sophisticated materials and how to apply them; but how differing materials, textures and colors can come together to create one-of-a-kind looks that separate Genesis 3 Designers and Watershapers from their competitors.

Terry Brannon, P.E., has spent his career closing gaps in this industry — first by identifying the engineering talent shortage, now by fixing the confusion that stalls projects on the ground.

In this video Terry talks about why GENESIS® courses exist: to build the next generation of pool designers and engineers from the ground up.

That same mission is behind his upcoming course, Standards, Codes, and Ordinances — helping today's contractors, designers, and code officials speak the same language, so permitting stops being a fight and projects keep moving.

The best builders never stop learning, and C201: GENESIS® Construction School: Concrete Pools gives professionals the opportunity to understand not just how pools are built, but why they’re built that way.

Over four virtual sessions, you’ll take a deeper look at the entire concrete pool construction process: from site analysis, engineering, plumbing, and excavation to shotcrete, waterproofing, tile, finishes, decking, startup, and project closeout.

Whether you’re building your foundation or bringing years of field experience into the classroom, C201 can help you connect the dots, strengthen your decision-making, and approach your next project with greater confidence.

Plus, C201 is a required course on the path to becoming a Certified Builder Professional (CBP).

Great design is built on intention. An understanding of space. And the ability to turn fundamental design principles into environments that feel as good as they look.

Join GENESIS® instructor Kate Wiseman, MLA, for D211: Elements of Design, November 14–15 at the Pool Spa Patio Expo.

Through hands-on exercises and a final master plan project, you’ll explore the Elements and Principles of Design—from line, color, and form to unity, balance, and scale—and learn how to apply them to pools, spas, patios, and the spaces that connect them.

If you’re ready to stop simply laying out projects and start designing them with purpose, this is where it begins.
