LIFEGUARDS IRELAND is a registered training unit with the world's leading lifesaving/lifeguard charitable organisation lifesavers RLSS and forms part of the world wife family of RLSS Registered through its Irish link, RLSS IRELAND. We adhere to the Syllabi, Policy Statements and Codes of Practice set out by lifesavers RLSS.

The National Beach Lifeguard Qualification and the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification are awarded by the Institute of Qualified Lifeguards (IQL), and are nationally and internationally recognised as the essential standards of competence. Each acts as a passport to employment with swimming pool managers, local authorities, outdoor centres and holiday companies both here in Ireland and throughout the world.

The IQL which administers around 30,000 lifeguarding qualifications each year world-wide was formed in 1992 and is the awarding body responsible for maintaining and developing the highest standards in lifeguarding. All courses are independently and externally assessed and certified.
