e-Learning Academy live; forthcoming badge system will phase in standardized credential visibility while reducing reliance on legacy opinion scoring.
Riverside, CA, United States, 14th Sep 2025 – Pool Rental Near Me (www.poolrentalnearme.com) announced the full activation of its Learning Academy and development of a structured credential and badge framework intended to replace emphasis on traditional public five-star rating displays. The platform—architected under the direction of CTO Matthew Ryan, founder of JourneyHorizon.io—connects residential pool owners with renters seeking private aquatic access across multiple U.S. regions, emphasizing disciplined expansion in Southern California.
The Learning Academy delivers standardized modules spanning water chemistry and maintenance fundamentals, safety preparation and risk awareness, guest communication and expectation setting, pricing and occupancy planning, hygiene readiness and incident response procedures.
Planned badge tiers include: Certified Host: core operational curriculum completion plus acknowledgment of safety checklist; Advanced Safety Certified: additional hazard mitigation modules and scenario assessment; Event-Ready Host: prior tiers plus event readiness protocol and documented capacity parameters.
“We are moving from popularity-style metrics toward verifiable preparation,” said CEO Derek Bowen. “Education-based credentials create clearer, fairer signals.” CTO Matthew Ryan added, “From an engineering standpoint, we’re implementing a structured credential layer that can be audited, versioned, and iterated without relying on opaque sentiment data.”
Implementation roadmap phases include: displaying course completion indicators on listings; releasing badge icon sets with a public criteria reference page; gating specified booking categories—such as lessons or controlled group events—behind relevant safety or event-readiness modules; introducing host analytics for response timeliness, availability integrity, and curriculum renewal cadence.
Legacy star ratings will retain limited internal analytical value during transition but will be deemphasized publicly as credential signals mature. Private structured post-stay feedback—non-public—will inform curriculum refinement rather than operate as a public influence lever.
Strategic objectives include raising operational baselines, reducing volatility tied to isolated review anomalies, and standardizing expectations for both hosts and renters.
