This is a Blended Learning Course where you must do a portion of the training online FIRST before you can attend the class. Failure to complete the online portion of the class prior to the start of the in-person session will result in removal from the course. *

Once you are registered, you will receive an e-mail within 24 hours that outlines what needs to be done online. Upon completion, you will receive a confirmation letter that will need to be brought to the training on the first day.

At the conclusion of the in-person session, participants will have a final exam, consisting of 2 multiple-choice tests, one for Lifeguarding and one for First Aid/CPR/AED. 80% or better is required to pass. You are allowed one re-attempt for each portion of the final exam. Failure to achieve 80% or higher on both exams will result in participants failing the course. **
