MAY 2020 - EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP
CHANGE OF DIRECTION FOR THE NEW BRONZE LEVEL PROGRAM
Given the uncertainty around pools reopening due to the current pandemic situation, the Lifesaving Society has decided to postpone the launch of its new Bronze levels program to a later date. As soon as operations resume, the Lifesaving Society will provide a new date for the launch and implementation of the new program.
YOUR COURSES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED: WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
LIFESAVING INSTRUCTOR
For Lifesaving Instructor courses, please contact the Lifesaving Society to make an appointment to assess eligibility for candidate certification.
PREREQUISITES
The Lifesaving instructor trainer must be able to justify the candidates status (success or N/A) based on evaluation notes they have collected during the session. All items must have been evaluated by the Lifesaving instructor trainer.
For Lifesaving Instructor courses where candidates have not been evaluated on all items or if the course has not been fully covered, we invite you to complete the training upon resumption of activities, as directed by public health guidelines.
Should you have any questions on the matter or to make an appointment for an eligibility assessment, please contact the Lifesaving Society at the following address: alerte@sauvetage.qc.ca.
CURRENT TRAININGS
A trainee who has not been able to complete their training should consider the following options:
- Complete the training in the same course when activities resume as directed by public health;
- Complete the training as soon as possible in another course.
If a trainee is required to complete their training in another course, they must ensure that evaluation documents are forwarded to their new instructor and that both instructors' documents are submitted to the Lifesaving Society.
SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SUSPENDED COURSES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT THE LIFESAVING SOCIETY AT ALERTE@SAUVETAGE.QC.CA.
