Instructors
 
We are always looking for instructors to help get our members through their courses. Support and tuition will be given each step on the way. You will receive an Instructors certificate, once you have qualified, which will look great on your CV. It is a fantastic way of getting involved further in the community and providing a much needed service!

Any queries please contact our Chief Instructor: Jackie Grant on jrgrantsurf@gmail.com or  0274 782 507

First Aid Courses
 
Mairangi Bay SLSC provided the opportunity to do a variety of First Aid courses, from a basic First Aid Level 1 all the way to Prehospital Emergency Care (First Aid Level 3). 
 
The demand for these courses are high, so if you want to do one in the future, especially if you are planning on becoming a regional guard, please contact Jackie Grant to register your interest as soon as possible. 
 
Most of these courses filled up very quickly and many wanting to do them have missed out. We are still looking at trying to run a Level 1 and 2 course at our Club rooms.  If you are interested please contact Jackie Grant on jrgrantsurf@gmail.com or  0274 782 507  0274 782 507
 
Senior Lifeguard School and Intermediate Lifeguard School 
 
Surf NZ and Northern Region provide these courses to members wanting to further their knowledge and experience. Ask any Senior Member - They are great fun and you are guaranteed to learn a lot and become a better lifeguard, especially due to the fact they are held in testing West Coast conditions.
 

Patrol Captains Courses
 
These courses are provided for any Patrol Captain or Vice Patrol Captain, or anyone looking to these positions in the future, and are a great learning tool.
