- Aquatics courses (Lifeguard Training, Lifeguard Instructor, WSI) offered YEAR ROUND - not seasonally.
- Courses tailored for our specific audience - a medical office or dental office CPR/ AED presentation will differ from the same course offered for laborers, etc.
- Extensive additional information in our Aquatics courses, backed by years of experience as a Lifeguard in Beach/ Waterfront settings, pool settings, and as a Lifeguard Instructor/ Instructor Trainer for many different types of Aquatic environments. In depth coverage on the process of drowning, behaviors of the different types of swimmers, what to look for and how to watch the pool, instinctive drowning response, and how to handle certain situations at a single lifeguard facility.
- Equipment: We have a large quantity of rescue equipment on hand for each class. This ensures our ability to provide an effective learning enviornment for even the largest of classes. We are able to keep Lifeguard group sizes small, typically around 3-4 participants which allows for more practice time and hands-on experience. For our Health & Safety (CPR and First Aid courses) we usually have enough manikins and supplies for each participant to have their own manikin for the entire class. This allows us to keep participants engaged in the learning process and makes class time more enjoyable for everyone involved.
- Office staffed all year - if you need copies of certifications in December, we can help you with that! Extensive records are kept on all of our courses and most information can be verified and reproduced as quickly as you need it.
- Emergency planning assistance (help making an Emergency Action Plan and training staff to implement the plan).
- We TRAVEL!
- We do this PROFESSIONALLY! Health & Safety/ Aquatics courses are our specialty with over 50 course offerings annually.
- Tuition assistance available for those who need it.
- Additional consulting & training on the Interview process, how to prepare for your interview, etc.. Provided by Leaderquest Development (this service provided by a third party and requires an additional fee).
