This week we have run our popular SLSA NARS (National Aquatic Rescue Standard)  Lifeguard Training Course in Cornwall.  The course lasts 6 days, with the lifeguard exam to be held in St Agnes, Cornwall on the Saturday.  The training is a pre requisite for outdoor instructors as well as of course lifeguards.    Many students go on to undertake their British Surfing Association Surf Instructor training afterwards so that they can take up the ever popular surf coach career.

NARS Beach lifeguard is also a pre-rquisite to becoming a Coasteering Instructor.
