Recertification process
To recertify your award, register with one of the Lifesaving Society’s numerous affiliate members. It is important to plan your award recertification two or three months ahead, since expiration dates can by no means be postponed, not even for a day.
If you recertify your award up to three months before it expires, the new expiration date will be based on the previous one instead of the recertification date. You have 12 months, following the due date, to recertify your awards without having to follow the training program anew.
