Learners will be taught to evaluate rescue situations, select appropriate rescue methods, and utilise a variety of equipment and techniques to deliver effective and timely rescue responses.
Ideal for individuals involved in sports, fitness, aquatic, or recreational organisations—including commercial, non-profit, community, and government sectors—such as swimming instructors, aqua exercise instructors, and outdoor recreation leaders.
The course content can be contextualised to suit specific groups and is often conducted on-site to provide tailored training experiences. Participants are encouraged to contact us for more information or to book a session, ensuring the training is optimally aligned with their needs.

Participants will learn to apply these skills in compliance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards, and industry codes of practice. There are no specific legislative requirements, occupational licensing, or certification prerequisites for this course, making it widely accessible and applicable.
