Trainers are responsible to teach, evaluate, and certify candidates for Lifesaving Society Instructor and Coach certifications in the topical streams in which they are appropriately qualified.
Prerequisites
- Lifesaving Society Instructor and Examiner awards if applicable (any, need not be current) - e.g., Swim for Life Instructor, Lifesaving Instructor/Examiner, or First Aid Instructor/Examiner.
Candidates are evaluated at a Competency Level 3 and are introduced to Competency Level 4. Teaching experience at the Instructor/Examiner level is strongly recommended prior to attempting the Trainer course.

- Those interested in becoming a National Lifeguard Trainer must first be an experienced NL Instructor/Examiner and an experienced Lifesaving Trainer.
2. Complete a Trainer Apprenticeship in their specialized stream:
