Lifeguard, CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer with First Aid training
Location Specifics
OUR TRAINING CAN BE STARTED AND COMPLETED AT ANYTIME!
The American Lifeguard Association has trained over 100,000 individuals nationwide and currently has thousands of Google's results regarding all the national efforts we are involved with, and we are still growing. The goal of the American Lifeguard Association is to improve the quality and accessibility of Health & Safety programs to the public...
The American Lifeguard Association is a nationally recognized organization that offers a self-study program that can train you now, so you do not have to wait for a group class that you may or may not be able to fit into your busy schedule. The American Lifeguard Association has been reviewed and received approval from national agencies such as the Government Service Administration, Homeland Security, American Medical Association and United States Senate. The USA Swimming Coaches Association and Dive Coaches Association also accept our program.
Whether you are a First Time Lifeguard, or you wish to recert your Lifeguarding with our training program you can learn at your own pace, at home and your community pool, and can get certified in just a few days. Once you enroll, we will email you key codes, which will also allow you to go online right away to start your training and to be able to take all the necessary exams. Our training program covers Lifeguard, CPR/AED, and First Aid, and can normally be completed over one or two weekends, but since it is a self-study program, you can set the times aside that are best for you. This way if you want, you can study just a few hours each day over a week or so, or complete everything in just few days.
You may be any age to take the program, but must be 15 or older by the requirement of US Labor Law to work as a Lifeguard at pools, lakes and waterparks, and 16 or older to work at beaches. Once you have reviewed the training materials, and have done the additional online training, along with practicing the skills, it will be necessary to sign an affidavit stating that you have the knowledge and ability to demonstrate the skills that are depicted in the materials. You will also need to take several online written exams. Once you have completed the program you will be able to print out a temporary certification, and we will also mail you an American Lifeguard Association Lifeguard, CPR/AED and First Aid card.
This intuitive self-study program has recently drawn interest from the News media, including the Wall Street Journal, and you may want to watch for it in the future regarding news stories about the national shortage of Lifeguards and how the American Lifeguard Association is creating alternative ways to overcome the server problem nationwide.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE AMERICAN LIFEGUARD PROGRAM:
This program can also be utilized by facilities that only need one or two individuals trained. Benefits for facilities include cost savings and content standardization. Benefits for students include being able to study at their leisure, the ability to review portions of the program repeatedly, in contrast to hearing a classroom instructor describe it only once or twice, and the ability to refer to the training materials in the future to keep up on their skills. Upon successful completion of the course, each participant will receive a Lifeguard and First Aid certification valid for 3 years and a CPR for the Professional Rescuer with AED certification valid for one year.
This program can be done solely, but the student will need an additional person to practice some of the skills. We wish to also emphasize that most all the skills can be accomplished as shown in the materials with a partner, but at no time should either rescue breaths, abdominal thrusts, or actual chest compressions be done with your partner. These things need only to be simulated, as shown in the materials and online training module, but not actually done. If you, your school, or facility would like to purchase your own set of manikins, we can furnish a new set at an additional price, but again we feel this is not necessary. As with all certifications the employer should insure that each Lifeguard candidate has all the skills necessary for the position they are being considered, and the employer should make sure the candidate meets the requirements in regard to physical and all other necessary requirements before starting employment.
If you have any medical conditions it is recommended that before you start the training that you seek advice from your doctor regarding your capability to participate.
