Training Programs

Member Learning & Development – information and bookings.

Member education is a core function of Henley SLSC and we offer a wide range of opportunities and pathways for members of all ages. Our team of qualified volunteer Training Officers, led by the Club’s Chief Instructor, dedicate a lot of time to facilitating educational programs for members. Many of these courses lead to accreditation of nationally endorsed units of competency and qualifications, and support members to carry out a wide range of volunteer duties at Henley.

For junior members (ages 5 to 12 years), skills and knowledge are obtained by attending weekly junior club training during the surf lifesaving season. Junior training is structured so that once members reach the age of 13 years, core surf skills and knowledge have already been developed.

We encourage members to continually enhance their lifesaving skills, ensuring we continue to provide a safe environment for our members, the community and visitors to our beautiful beach.

Are you interested in carrying out training so you can assist your children’s age group? Would you like the skills and confidence to join one of Henley’s amazing patrol teams? Or maybe you aspire to become the next Club Training Officer.
