When it comes to pool safety, your knowledge and skills can mean the difference between life and death. This is precisely why the emergency pool responder course is of immense value for the leisure sector. But how long does it take to complete this invaluable course?
At CTC Training, we run two versions of the course — STA and RLSS — both of which are run over two days (usually 09:00-17:00). This includes contact time with a tutor and excludes break times, changing times, etc.
Inside the Course: From Theory to Practice
The course is designed with a holistic approach, providing you with an understanding of the potential emergencies you may face in a poolside environment. The first day of the course is delivered in a classroom and is primarily focused on theory, covering topics like pool safety, risk assessment and accident prevention.
The second day is devoted to practical skills. You will be given hands-on training in areas such as poolside rescue techniques, CPR and first aid. This crucial day of training allows you to practice your skills in a controlled, supervised environment.
Entry Requirements for the Emergency Pool Responder Course
The emergency pool responder course is designed to be accessible. You must be at least 16 years of age and have a basic level of fitness to ensure you can perform the practical aspects of the course. Prior experience in poolside safety or first aid is not necessary, making this course an excellent entry point for those interested in the field.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of competence. This certification, recognised across the UK, will make you an appealing prospect for employers seeking qualified emergency pool responders.
