Sign-up for free lifesaving lifeguard courses in Doncaster

Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust (DCLT) is running the course at venues in the city from Monday, August 1 to Friday, August 5.

The five-day course provides all the theory and practical skills needed to be a lifeguard and includes training in water safety, casualty recovery, CPR and emergency first aid. The

Level 3 First Aid at Work Qualification is embedded into the course.

Jon Whiteley, deputy chief executive of DCLT, said: "This is a great job opportunity over the summer holidays for those leaving school and college and there is also the prospect of a rewarding career as a lifeguard. More than 85 per cent of people who passed the last course were offered work with DCLT. We are looking forward to training as many new lifeguards as possible.”
