Licensing overview

What It Takes to Become a Licensed Florida Pool & Spa Servicing Contractor

A pool/spa servicing contractor can repair and service existing pools, hot tubs and spas, including equipment replacement and interior refinishing, but not new construction. The state confirms your experience, financial responsibility and technical knowledge before issuing the license. CEI's programs help you prepare for the trade and Business & Finance exams.

Three contractors reviewing plans on a laptop at a job site

Experience or education pathway

Applicants may qualify with one year of experience in the scope of work plus 60 hours of board-approved instruction, or through the standard experience and education pathways.

Financial and background review

Applicants must meet financial responsibility requirements, including credit reports, and pass a fingerprint-based background check. The DBPR sets the exact criteria and may require additional documentation.

Pass both exams

Candidates must pass Business & Finance (Pool/Spa Servicing) and Pool/Spa Servicing Trade Knowledge with a 70% or higher. Both exams are open book and taken at a state-approved testing center.

Insurance

Once approved, candidates must carry general liability and property damage insurance and workers' compensation coverage, or an exemption, before activating the license.

FAQ

Questions Candidates Ask Before Enrolling

What is the difference between the online, live and full service packages?

Online is self-paced study for both exams with quizzes and practice exams. Live adds a two-day live Business & Finance class, in a Florida classroom or on Zoom, alongside the online trade course. Full Service combines the live Business & Finance class with online study for both exams, Business & Finance highlighting guides and a one-on-one licensing consultation. Every package includes the tabbed and highlighted reference books. Compare every feature in the packages section above.

Do I qualify for a Florida Pool & Spa Servicing Contractor license?

Florida determines license eligibility, not CEI. The state reviews areas such as minimum age, an experience or education pathway, the exams, and background, financial responsibility and insurance requirements. Use the license path guide on this page for an overview, or speak with a licensing specialist.

How long is each Florida Pool & Spa Servicing Contractor exam, and how many questions are there?

Business & Finance (Pool/Spa Servicing) is 60 questions in 3.5 hours. Pool/Spa Servicing Trade Knowledge is 60 questions in 5 hours. Each exam is open book and multiple choice, and requires a 70% score to pass.

Is the exam open book?

Yes. Florida contractor exams are open book, and permanent tabs and highlighting are allowed. The permitted reference list is set by the state, so check the current list for your exam date.

Can I purchase an exam-ready book set without taking a course?

Yes. The tabbed and highlighted book set can be purchased on its own.

View the Pool and Spa Servicing Contractor book set

How do I find upcoming live class dates and locations?

Current Business & Finance class dates, locations and Zoom options are listed on the Live Package and Full Service Package product pages. If you need to change dates or locations, call customer service.

What work can a pool/spa servicing contractor perform?

Repair and service of existing pools, hot tubs and spas, including equipment replacement, interior refinishing and perimeter and filter piping repair. Building new pools requires a residential or commercial pool/spa license.

Can I speak with someone before I enroll?

Yes. Call (800) 423-7058 to talk with a licensing specialist about which option fits your schedule and goals. The CEI office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST.

Can CEI help me register for my state exam?

Yes. Call (800) 423-7058 for CEI customer service and support with exam registration.

I already know the trade. Do I still need to prepare for Business & Finance?

Many pool contractors are comfortable with the trade material but need more preparation for Business & Finance, which covers accounting, contracts and construction business law. Every package covers both exams, and the Live and Full Service packages add a live Business & Finance class.
