Details

The Royal Life Saving Society National Pool Lifeguard Qualification course (NPLQ), covered over 38 hours plus an external assessment (normally over 5 or 6 days), will qualify you to work as a Lifeguard in any public swimming pool. 

Leisure Centres and Swimming Pools often recruit on an on-going basis as there can be a relatively high turnover of staff, the NPLQ is an excellent way of getting into leisure.  The course is recognised by all the professional bodies in leisure, and will help employers and operators meet their legal requirements to provide qualified and competent Lifeguards.  All skills and knowledge gained are also valuable outside of work and one day may help save someone’s life.

Syllabus

The NPLQ covers a wide range of topics within its syllabus including:  

-         The principles of pool lifeguarding

-         In-water rescue and spinal injury management

-         Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

-         First aid

-         The application of supervision and rescue in a swimming pool

Assessment, Certification and Re-Certification

At the end of the course there is a formal assessment by an independent examiner when trainees must demonstrate the skills and knowledge learnt during the course.  Trainees will receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, and the qualification lasts for two years. If you complete the required criteria of training over the duration of your qualification then you can be re-assessed at the end of the two year period, or you go can attend another full course.

Open Course Price

The NPLQ course costs £185 per person, and is fully inclusive of training manual, one external assessment and certificate.
