To maintain "current", Instructors, Examiners and Trainers must
recertify their award(s) within 24 months of the certification or
last recertification date.
The Lifesaving Society's Credit System
recognizes individual needs and interests by encouraging leadership
personnel to learn and improve through continuing education and
professional development:
- Earn 3 credits during the 2-year certification period by
participating in courses, clinics and training programs identified
on the Lifesaving Society Credit List.
- Record your credits on the Credit Card dated and signed
by the various course evaluators.
- Mail the completed Credit Card with the recertification fee to
the Society's office. We send you back a renewed certification card
(valid for another 2 years) together with a blank Credit Card and
Credit List.
- Leadership awards recertified at different times are subject to
a recertification fee each time. Recertifying all your leadership
certifications at the same time reduces your cost.
- There is no fee to renew an Examiner appointment, provided you
renew it at the same time as your other leadership
certifications.
Examiners note: Examiners must select
at least 1 credit from items on the Credit List marked with a
check.
Note: Courses or continuing education
opportunities, which do not appear on the Credit List, may
also have credit value. Pre-season, in-service and special clinics
or professional development activities may be eligible. Applications for credit value for such courses
are reviewed by the Society on a case by case basis.
