Leisure Training and Consultancy North East Ltd

Well.... it's been a very busy July and August for our National Pool Lifeguard Qualification trainers. In July and August 144 candidates have successfully passed their NPLQ with us.... each attending a five day course and sitting an assessment at the end.

It has been a pleasure to work with different venues, and as always we received a lovely welcome at each one

We have also been delivering a range of other courses as well as NPLQ, but we haven't quite finished woth more to run this coming week....so the final summer total is still to come!

If you would like to join us, or if you would like us to assist with your organisation's training needs... please just get in touch and we would love to help

Yet another ongoing lifeguard training and competency session completed at Gateshead Leisure Centre which is one centre for which we provide regular staff training.

In order to work on the pool, lifeguards do two hours training each month, covering facility operations, CPR, first aid skills, pool rescues and spinal injury work.

We provide training for several pools and quite a few swim schools and swimming clubs as well as schools, universities and colleges. If your organisation requires training for your staff teams, why not get in touch and see if we can help?!

Yesterday we were working with the staff from Whitley Bay Swim School for their STA Level 2 Pool Water Testing course.

Congratulations to all the team for passing your assessment and we look forward to working with you again in the future 😃

Yesterday we were down in Knaresborough at one of the oldest public swimming pools in England. Opened to the public in 1870, Starbeck Baths is a much loved facility and has been in continuous use since opening; currently operated and looked after by North Yorkshire Council.

A unique setting to do a probationary TA course moderation and see another group of new lifeguards pass their NPLQ.

Well done to Alana who was the probationary trainer and thanks to Graeme for making the journey down.
