The Beach Lifeguard qualification is an essential requirement for working as a lifeguard on British beaches and is recognised by many international lifesaving bodies.
Training involves a series of modules combining practical and theory sessions with an average of 3-5 hours spent in the water each day.
This is aimed at candidates who wish to become beach lifeguards for the first time and who have little previous knowledge or experience of beach lifeguarding.

- Candidates must be able to swim 400m in less than 7 mins 30 Secs.

As well as leading to jobs as beach lifeguards and surf instructors, the qualification can act as a stepping stone to other careers in the emergency services.
