Core Instructor Clinic
The Lifesaving Society's Core Instructor Clinic is designed for
candidates who do not hold the Society's Lifesaving Instructor
certification, but who are otherwise qualified to teach a
non-aquatic Society course like first aid. Candidates learn about

responsibilities of Lifesaving Society instructors and examiners;
class management and presentation skills.
The Core Instructor Clinic (approx. 8-10 hr.) may be offered

into it. Those who successfully complete both the Core Instructor
Clinic and the First Aid Instructor Course will be certified as
Lifesaving Society First Aid Instructors.
Prerequisite: Minimum 18 years of age and
Lifesaving Society Standard First Aid certification. Previous
teaching experience recommended.
Evaluation & certification: Lifesaving
Society Instructor Trainers teach and evaluate Core Instructor
Clinic candidates.
