This past weekend marked a significant milestone for six individuals who successfully completed their National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) course after an intense week of training at Magna Vitae.
These newly qualified lifeguards are now equipped with essential skills to ensure the safety of swimmers in various aquatic environments.
The NPLQ course is meticulously designed to train participants in vital lifeguarding skills, including water rescue techniques, CPR, first aid, and pool safety protocols. Not only is this qualification pursued by those seeking a professional career as a lifeguard, but it also appeals to individuals keen on enhancing their personal water safety skills. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience, emphasising real world scenarios to prepare participants for any situation they might encounter.
At Magna Vitae, we take pride in offering excellent training opportunities for both our staff and the community. Our courses empower individuals to develop their skills further or pivot to new career paths in the leisure industry. We are even Approved Training Centre (ATC) rated Excellent!
Becky Clark, our National Trainer Assessor and Training Coordinator, who has been with Magna Vitae for 20 years and training for 12 years, led the sessions. She expressed her pride in the group’s performance:
“They absolutely smashed their assessment with very positive and lovely feedback from the assessor! The group has been so easy to teach. They all worked so hard, gave me no problems, and it was a pleasure to be their trainer. Well done to you all; you thoroughly deserve the qualification and will be great lifeguards!”
We are thrilled for these six new lifeguards, some of whom will continue their careers with us here at Magna Vitae. We look forward to seeing their contributions to water safety in the community. Their dedication and hard work is paramount, ensuring that pools and leisure venues remain safe spaces for everyone.
Congratulations to the newly qualified lifeguards!
