National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ)

Here at Water World in York we hold a number of NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) courses throughout the year to both provide a service to anyone that would like to add this qualification to their CV or to gain employment in the leisure industry, whether that be with us or to use elsewhere.

Our next NPLQ course will be running in the month of September 2010 and the course can take a maximum of 8 candidates. The timetable for the course is as follows:

Mon 20th September: 5-10

Sat 18th December: 11-7 (Exam Day)


The timetable is set to cover the hours that are required to take the exam. It is essential that candidates are able to attend every session to be eligible to take the exam at the end of the course.

The cost of this course is £225, £100 of which will need to be paid as a deposit upon booking on the course. Please note that bookings will not be taken unless the deposit is paid at the time of booking. The remaining course cost will need to be paid in full a minimum of 10 days in advance of the start date. We require a minimum of 3 weeks notice if you are unable to attend the course as failure to do so will result in the full balance being owed. All the course literature and assessors are provided within this cost. You will need to bring with you pen, paper and appropriate swimwear with shorts and t-shirt that you don’t mind getting wet for all the sessions unless told otherwise by the course tutor.

In order to ensure you are able to do this training and exam a swimming test will be held at set times 2 weeks before the start of the course. Details of this will be sent out closer to the time. The test will consist of the following:

· Being able to swim 50m within 1 minute
· Swim 6 lengths on the front and then 6 on the back continuously with no time limit
· Climb out of the pool unaided
· Retrieve a rescue manikin from the pool floor (depth set to 2 metres)
· General swimming assessment, bear in mind that being a good swimmer is necessary!

You will also need to bring with you swimwear with shorts and t-shirt to swim in for the swimming test.

Thank you again for your enquiry.
