Delivering Skills Maintenance

*The table below provides an overview of what qualifications/awards enable a Trainer, Assessor or Facilitator to deliver Skills Maintenance activities in each award.

In the simplest form, a Trainer, Assessor or Facilitator is endorsed to deliver Skills Maintenance activities in the award. They are endorsed to either train, assess or facilitate the new award.

* LSV Operations course – select entry.
** Maintenance of award only. It does not lead to the issuance of a qualification.
*** The base award and prerequisites should be held and current.

Where the Skills Maintenance App has been used during a skills maintenance session, and the Member has been marked Competent in all areas of the award/s and has completed all eLearning for the award (if applicable), the Member’s skills maintenance will be automatically processed and updated in Surfguard.

If a Member is marked “Not Yet Competent” in one or more aspects of the skills maintenance activity, the Skills Maintenance App will not process the skill until the Member completes those activities successfully.

If the Skills Maintenance App is not used, Skills Maintenance processing is completed by the Club Chief Training Officer and approved by Area Training and Assessment Officers. The process uses the traditional Form 14, enabling quick and accurate data entry into Surfguard.

!Form 14s should only be raised when Skills Maintenance eLearning has been completed in full (and checked) and evidence of practical activity completion has been provided

All information needed to deliver Skills Maintenance activities (including raising and approving Form 14s) is included in the Skills Maintenance Handbook.
