In recent seasons Clubs have advised SLSNSW of their preferred certificate format; if you wish to check or change your preference for PDF emails/hard copy Nipper certificates for the 2025/26 season please email education@surflifesaving.com.au before submitting any awards for processing. Clubs making use of the Nipper App also need to advise if they wish for the club or SLSNSW to be responsible for certificate generation before submitting any awards for processing.
Option 1: Hard copy posted to the club by SLSNSW
Option 2: PDF email direct to the member by SLSNSW
Additional options available only via the Nipper App when your club has selected to self-distribute
