Bronze Medallion and Life
Support 1 (BM/LS1 combined courses) |
|
REVISED PROCEDURE
WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT (May 2008) |
|
The process of registering a BM/LS1
course is NOT complex, but you must complete it or there is a strong
possibility that your candidates' awards will be invalidated. |
|
1 |
The
trainer orders the candidate packs via
Lifesavers Direct.
You should allow a
minimum of 14 days for delivery.
NB:
The Branch no longer processes orders on behalf of members. |
|
2 |
The trainer should download a
current BM/LS1 course registration form from the Lifesavers website. |
|
3 |
The trainer arranges for an
Assessor.
You should give them at least a month's
notice.
You MUST not use the same assessor for
three consecutive assessments.
The Assessor MUST possess a valid card of
authority, be in full individual membership of the Society, hold a valid
Life Support 3 award and, preferably should hold a recent Criminal Records
Bureau Disclosure. They must also have been listed by the Branch as
assessors - you CANNOT bring an assessor in from another Branch without
PRIOR permission. You will find a list of Assessors by following the
link on our home page. |
| 4 |
The trainer uses the course
registration form to register
the ASSESSMENT direct with River House .
You MUST do so at least 28 days before
the assessment is to take place.
You MUST include the relevant page from
each candidate's pack with the registration form.
You need to know the name and society
number of the ASSESSOR to do so. |
|
5 |
You will receive from River House the
certificates and medallions for signature by the assessor immediately after
the assessment. |
| |
|
ARRANGING ASSESSMENTS |
|
ALL SENIOR LIFESAVING AWARDS
(INCL AWARD OF MERIT, DISTINCTION, NRASTC, AND
LIFE-SUPPORT 1,2 AND 3)
The trainer is
responsible for arranging an assessor directly.
You should allow a
minimum of one month's notice - remember assessors are volunteers with
busy diaries too!
If you need a current
list of Trainer Assessors click here.
If you have difficulty finding
a TA who is
available, please contact the Branch Lifesaving
Coordinators who will be glad to assist.
REMEMBER - all courses for BM/LS1 and NRASTC must be
pre-registered.
From May 2009, BM/LS
assessments can be conducted by the TA within certain constraints.
You should have received details of this change by post, direct from HQ.
If not, call the BLCs before doing anything!
