Awards Training

In order to support the development of life sustaining rescue, water safety and first aid skills, members of the Altona Life Saving Club are eligible to apply for training across a wide range of learning areas.

These nationally accredited and recognised award training courses are provided either directly by Altona Life Saving Club or in conjunction with other clubs in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The ability to run these awards will depend upon the availability of trainers and expected participant numbers.
