Is this the course for me?

This is NOT sufficient as a Lifeguard qualification but more so to satisfy your requirements within water safety as per your risk assessment. If you require courses governed by the Royal Life Saving Society please chose either Emergency Response, National Pool Lifeguard Qualification or National Rescue Test for Swimming Teachers and Coaches.(NRASTC) that we also offer.
