Who is it for? 

The STA Award for Safety Award for Teachers qualification is aimed at swimming teachers of all disciplines, aquatic instructors and poolside helpers to provide lifesaving cover during structured sessions. It enables the holder to initiate the Emergency Action Plan, respond to an emergency and support the casualty to prevent the situation from worsening until further assistance arrives.

This qualification is for learners who may teach or assist swimming lessons and aquatic activities including school swimming lessons. It is also a great stepping stone into the world of lifesaving, as you can take this course at 14 years old.
