SLSGB Continued Professional Development (CPD) Form
To be effective from January 2012
Your Surf Life Saving GB (SLSGB) coaching, training or assessing qualification is initially valid for two years once you have completed your qualification. Once the two years have lapsed, you will be required yearly to provide evidence of Continued Professional Development (CPD) in order to re-validate your award.
Note: Once the initial two years have lapsed, you are entitled a 6-month period to re-validate your qualification. Should this period be exceeded, you will be required to complete a re-assessment against the full qualification criteria.
To fulfil the re-validation criteria, the Coach, Trainer, Assessor or Tutor must: Attend an SLSGB Update yearly; Every year, show evidence of a minimum of two awards/qualifications that were
successfully completed under your training/coaching guidance or were assessed by you
The new online awards administration system will automatically check and maintain your status, based on these criteria, so it is important that you maintain vigilant and up to date.
Please note: should you cumulate several qualifications (i.e. Trainer and Assessor or Trainer and Coach), you will be required to attend only one update per year and to evidence only 2 courses completed under your guidance.
