National Pool Lifeguard Course (NPLQ)
Learn Skills for Life
Become qualified to work in any UK swimming pool as a Lifeguard during this one week intensive course taking place at Havant and Waterlooville (just outside of Portsmouth).
This is an ideal way to gain an essential qualification at a low cost for working in the leisure industry as well as learning practical skills that could save someone’s life.
Course Cost
Lifeguards benefit from varied working hours, which can easily fit around other commitments, the experience of working within a team, and the opportunity to progress within the leisure industry – most leisure managers start as pool lifeguards.
The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) course is only £275 per candidate, including tuition, first aid and AED training, handbook and exam fee.
