The national Junior Development Program includes lessons and resources that are tailored to each different age group. The program covers a diverse range of skills from body surfing to catching waves on a board to first aid, CPR and the surf environment.
The program is based on participatory evaluation and not assessed on competence; this means children must only be actively involved in each of the lessons to be eligible for their relevant Surf Education award. The program provides a pathway of learning towards the Surf Rescue Certificate, which members can begin training towards from the age of 13.
