An international renowned, hands-on lifeguard course that is highly interactive and physically enduring. The course is a
comprehensive training program that promotes objective-driven and performance-based training for individuals wishing to obtain a new ILTP certification for shallow water, pool, special facilities, and/or open water, in various water depths ranging from less than 5' feet of water up to any depth and/or open water. Our International Lifeguard Training Programs (ILTP) are designed and intended to be delivered as part of an integrated curriculum that includes water rescue techniques, First Aid, Health Care Provider CPR, Emergency Oxygen Support, and Automated External Defibrillation as a first responder.

This course requires students to perform each concept taught in the course, through student demonstrations of all skills concepts and skills instructed. Students will participate in lifeguarding roles throughout the class and are expected to perform lifeguard duties as first responders. Students will perform on deck and in water simulations, drills, and exercises for rescue techniques as an individual and in team scenarios as part of multiple rescuers drills. The ILTP Lifeguard course materials are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai and simplified Chinese languages. Students that successfully complete the ILTP Lifeguard course obtain an ILTP certificate that is valid for one (1) year.

Annual renewal is required. Successful candidates can earn anywhere from 2.2 to 2.6 IACET CEUs depending on the level of certification achieved in the program.
