The RLSS UK National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is recognised throughout the UK and Ireland. On completion of the course you will be able to work as a pool lifeguard nationwide. The qualification is also a great stepping stone into a job in the leisure industry.
Our NPLQ courses are delivered over 36 hours in one week intensive courses and include AED (defibrillator) qualification. Monday – Friday you will learn the physical and theoretical sections of the course and be assessed on the Saturday. If successful you will be awarded a NPLQ qualification (level 2) valid for 2 years.
The qualification is internationally recognised and is incorporated on the Qualifications Framework at Level 2. The NPLQ is valid for 2 years from the date of issue and a further 20 hours of on-going training and competency assessment must be completed before a lifeguard can renew their qualification prior to the expiry of their existing award.
