Education

One of the benefits of being involved in a surf club is the ability to learn skills that assist not only the club in meeting its requirements to patrol but are also invaluable life skills that benefit the individual and community as a whole.

Club Members have the opportunity to achieve a selection of awards and competencies through the volunteer training system. These are delivered by our club volunteer trainers and assessors and are categorised as follows:

• Aquatic Rescue
• First Aid and Emergency Care
• Powercraft
• Statewide Services

Torquay Surf Life Saving Club partners with Life Saving Victoria (LSV), which is a registered training organisation (RTO 21799) regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), to deliver vocational education and training services. We are recognised as a provider of quality assured and nationally accredited qualifications.

Our Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators are a dedicated and committed group of volunteer members who make a huge contribution to lifesaving. These individuals go above and beyond to ensure LSV’s volunteer members have the knowledge, skills and rescue capabilities to provide safe beach environments for Victorian communities and visitors.

Torquay Surf Life Saving Club offers a range of course delivery options to ensure flexible training delivery. Whilst we have a choice of delivery mode for select courses, the minimum hours for face-to-face training must be met. Some courses also have prerequisites (including other courses to be completed) fitness or age requirements.

In order to enrol in any courses provided by the Club you’ll need an SLSA Members Area Account.
