Lifeguard Training & DEVELOPMENT Information

Once you have passed your Surf Lifeguard Award, Surf Life Saving offers opportunities for you to increase your skill base in many areas and every year offers numerous courses to achieve this. Orewa Surf Lifesaving Club regularly offers the following courses:

• Surf First Aid & Refresher

• Advanced Surf First Aid & Refresher

• IRB Crew

• IRB Driver

• Water Rescue Craft (WRC)

• Rock Training and Rescue

• Search And Rescue (SAR)

The training pathway is laid out below but you can choose to follow more than one pathway in the same year. We do, however, recommend you only attend a maximum of one course per pathway each year, as this gives time for the skills to consolidate and strengthen, ready to move onto the next level.

A full list of courses, their description and prerequisites can be found on the SLSNZ website

If you are interested in attending any of these courses or have any queries please contact the Orewa Surf Life Saving Club admin@orewasurfclub.org.nz
