Rescue Water Craft (RWC) Operators course
First Aid certificates
Bronze online requirement
SLSA has determined that we all need to complete the Sexual Harassment online course as a part of our BM requals this year. If you haven’t completed the course, we won’t be able to process your requal.
Go to Members Area; eLearning; Training library; Safety and wellbeing; Sexual harassment. It’ll take 10 – 15 mins.
Bronze and SRC courses commence with the annual proficiency swim on October 27 followed by training through November and December. If you haven’t registered yet, please contact Jeff as below.
Skills Maintenance (Requals) – October 20 or October 26
Register now for BM, ART and/or IRB – Members area; eLearning; Training event; select date and time; sessions start every 15 mins 9am to 10:30 – two opportunities October 20 and 26.
This year you’ll be completing the requal with one partner, so if you have someone in mind, they need to book the same start time as you – if not, you’ll be paired-up on the day. Also, please complete the Sexual Harassment online training prior to your requal (Members area; eLearning; Safety and Wellbeing).
RWC course
A RWC operators course is planned to commence in December 2024.
Expressions of interest are now called from club members who must be 18 years old by the assessment date.
Prerequisites are current BM and RST (Recreational Skippers Ticket).
Please register your interest and direct any questions to Greg Webb, woofamily1@westnet.com.au
First Aid Certificates
National code HLTAID011 (this incorporates HLTAID009 and HLTAID010)
Updates – Many of us completed this award combined with the BM requal two or three years ago (because it was made free by SLSA). The cert lasts 3 years, so will be running out for many people – check in Members area. SLSA has made the qual free again this season, so the plan is to do a series of 4 hr updates following the requals, i.e. during November and December. You must have a current BM to be able to update.
New awards – There will be opportunities to complete the full award for those who have never held the certificate. The first of these will be with the November Bronze quad – training Wednesday evenings 6:30 to 8pm for six weeks. The second opportunity will be a full day course in the summer break on a date to suit candidates. Please give Jeff a text to seek further info or to register.
There are always lots of questions around training, particularly if you’re new to the club. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch by phone or text.
Please register your interest for any of the above courses with Education Team Leader, Jeff Medcalf at education@albanysurfclub.com.au or call 0403 789 746.
