NATIONAL BEACH LIFEGUARD COURSE INFORMATION

If you need technical information on the content of a NBLQ course then contact me. Remember there are no pre-requisites other than an ability to swim 400m in less than 8 minutes in a pool. However, it is an advantage to be 'ocean friendly'.The qualification carries  International Recognition in a practical and real sense and those that successfully attain the qualification and excel on a course may allow their name to be submitted to the RNLI database with a view to becoming a RNLI Beach Lifeguard in the future. Please remember that attendance on a course does not guarantee that you will achieve the qualification. It is wise to remember that at the conclusion of the course there will be independent assessment by  Assessors on behalf of the qualifying body, Institute  of Qualified Lifeguards.

Are you interested ? Have you got the team spirit and are ready for a personal challenge?  So if you are up for it and are over 16 years of age, have a good swimming ability, fit and are able to work in a team then there is no time like the present. Sign up and get training !!

 For  technical information on the NBLQ check out the Frequently Asked Questions which are available through the      " Beach Lifeguard " page and follow all of the links or alternatively contact me directly by e-mail or telephone me at 087 2442454 if you have specific questions.

Good Luck to all candidates and I hope to see you on the beach !!
