Free course for students
Register for our program to get your accredited swimming instructor and CPR qualifications for free.
To be eligible for the program, you must be:
- a Year 12, university or TAFE student in Western Australia
- at least 17 years old, at the time you complete the courses.
To participate in the program, you must agree to:
- attend a one-day, face-to-face practical course at an aquatic venue
- complete up to 30 hours of self-paced online learning
- complete your industry training in one of our swimming programs
- allow 2 weeks because this is competency-based and may take more or less time
- apply for a job in one of our swimming programs within 12 months of your practical course
- reimburse us $170 for the cost of the course if you don’t apply for swimming instructor jobs with us within 12 months of your practical course.
Before you enrol, read the program terms and conditions.
All participants must complete a swim teacher course. All swim teacher courses run from 10 am to 5 pm.
If you also need a CPR qualification, you must complete it on the same day as the swim teacher course. All CPR courses run from 8 am to 10 am.
Courses have a maximum number of participants. If a course is full, register for a different date.
If you’re unable to attend your course after you register, call 9402 6195 or email swimming.administration@education.wa.edu.au as soon as possible to cancel.
