Other Aquatic Training
National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ)
The NPLQ is a recruitment requirement for a number of jobs within the leisure industry from Pool Lifeguard to Centre Manager. This qualification is also recognised internationally, so you can use it at several places abroad if you are thinking of working in summer camps.
Ongoing Lifeguard Training and Competency
We also provide additional NPLQ training as recommended by the RLSS and the IQL for lifeguards who need to top up their training hours or require a renewal or competency assessment
Emergency Response Pool (ER Pool)
The Emergency Response Pool Programme is designed to assist designated staff to respond to an emergency within the swimming pool environment when the alarm has been raised. This qualification can be utilised for staff who work at shallow pools where constant supervision is not needed.
