Becoming a Trainer, Assessor or Facilitator

 
 
 

The TOC award:

The Training Officer Certificate (TOC) provides participants with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver quality training of lifesaving awards. TOC courses now run as an expression of interest (EOI) released through the LSV circulars; for the full course details and how to apply, see our Training Officer Certificate (TOC) page.

Accredited Vs Non-Accredited Awards:

  • Non-accredited training sits outside the scope of the AQF and is developed, coordinated, and delivered by LSV in partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA). These include all lifesaving awards aside from the ones mentioned above.

The process for becoming a trainer in accredited training requires a few more steps than non-accredited awards!

Steps to becoming a TAF:

    • There is a different form depending on whether you are becoming a trainer, assessor or facilitator. However, there are not different forms depending on which award you are training.

  • If you have maintained your own currency in the award and remained an active trainer or teacher in other areas, send an email to volunteertraining@lsv.com.au explaining this and asking them to update your TAF currency in this award.

  • Because ARTFA involved training accredited awards, the process is a bit more complicated than normal - please see this page for more information.
