Leeds Lifesaving, John Charles Centre for Sport

Leeds Lifesaving, the renowned fitness club located at the John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds, is excited to announce a range of training courses to meet your fitness and educational needs. Whether you're seeking to become a certified swimming teacher or require first aid training for your workplace, Leeds Lifesaving has got you covered.

For those with an interest in pursuing a career as a swimming teacher, the STA Award Course is the perfect starting point. This comprehensive course equips you with the necessary skills and technical knowledge to teach swimming to participants of all skill levels, from non-swimmers to advanced swimmers. And if you've already completed the STA Award qualification, you can take things to the next level by enrolling in the STA Level 2 Certificate qualification. This advanced course expands your expertise, enabling you to teach competitive strokes, survival and rescue skills, diving, and more.

Leeds Lifesaving also offers first aid courses tailored specifically for employers. As per the HSE regulations, all employers are required to conduct a first aid training needs assessment to determine the type and number of first-aiders needed within their organisation. To meet these requirements, Leeds Lifesaving provides both the First Aid at Work (a comprehensive 3-day course) and the Emergency First Aid at Work (a condensed 1-day course). Furthermore, annual refresher training of 3 hours is recommended for all first-aiders to ensure their skills remain up to date.

If you require assistance in determining the appropriate level of training for your staff, Leeds Lifesaving is here to help. They offer guidance, information, and support to help you make the right decisions for your team. Get in touch with them today for more information and personalised advice on first aid training courses.

All courses take place at the Aquatics Centre, which is conveniently located at the John Charles Centre for Sport on Middleton Grove, Leeds, LS11 5DJ.
