All training courses are provided by Aquatic Response which is a registered third party provider for the Registered Training Organisation Royal Life Saving Training RTO 5431

Our courses provide expert professional training in using the latest techniques and technology and cover aquatic supervision, risk management, communication, rescue and emergency response techniques, first aid and advanced resuscitation, public relations, conflict management and incident investigation and reporting.

These are valuable skills in any work context and lifeguarding is a dynamic, in-demand profession that can open up work opportunities in a wide variety of national and international locations.
