National Lifesaving Academy
Training Lifesavers of today and Lifeguards of tomorrow
The RLSS UK National Lifesaving Academy awards are a suite of progressive awards that teach personal survival, first aid, CPR, rescue, and fitness skills to anyone aged 12 years and over. Their aim is to teach candidates how to stay safe around water and how to safely assist others who may have gotten into difficulty in both aquatic and non-aquatic situations.
The awards are structured to teach foundational skills and then progressively build up the candidate’s skills.
On achieving the Bronze Medallion level of award, the candidate receives Recognition of Prior Learning hours towards the RLSS UK vocational lifeguard qualifications. Thats right, These Awards count towards a professional qualificaion!
