I'M LOOKING FOR...

The SLS eLearning platform is an online learning management system for members to complete online learning and theory assessment components of SLS courses. It is also a system that helps Club Chief Training Officers and other education team members monitor and administer online course records.

The SLS eLearning platform connects to SurfGuard and the SLSA Assessing app to help reduce and automate many administrative requirements for training and assessing.

Members may also use the eLearning platform to create and enrol in assessment ‘Events’ at your SLS club and other SLS clubs within Australia.

One great benefit of using the eLearning platform is that it helps reduce some of the administrative burden felt by volunteer trainers, assessors, and administrators.

How to Access and Enrol in Online Courses

The first time you access the SLS eLearning Platform, you need to login via the SLS Members Area and agree to some terms and conditions of use.

After this first time, you can then access the SLS eLearning Platform via the:

  1. SLSMembers Area > eLearning Menu > Follow the prompts
  2. SLSA eLearning app that’s available to download from both the Google Play Store for android devices and the Apple App Store for apple devices.

Note:

  • If you do not have a unique SLS Members Area account, click here to create one.
  • If you have forgotten your login details, click here to have them sent to you via text or email.

After accessing the SLS eLearning Platform, you can enrol into a course within the ‘Training Library’ menu.

The courses are grouped into categories to make them easier to find. For example, you will find the Bronze Medallion course within the SLS – Aquatic Rescue category.

After you enrol in an online course, it will be available for you to start and return to within your ‘My Training’ menu.

If your Trainer has allocated you a course, you will find it within your ‘My Training’ menu.

Note: If you have administration access to the eLearning platform, you will be automatically logged in as an administrator.
