Note:

  • Chief Training Officers are encouraged to schedule skills maintenance sessions for education team members earlier in the season to support their re-endorsement process.
  • For each award in SurfGuard, please allow up to four weeks to have its proficiency date extended from when you have completed all its skills maintenance requirements.
  • Skills maintenance only renews an SLSA award’s currency. It does not renew any units of competency.

More information about TAF re-endorsement can be found in the latest SLSNSW Training and Education Standard Operating Procedures and on the SLSNSW TAF Re-Endorsement webpage.

FAQs

CTOs have automatic administration access to the eLearning portal. All other members of a SLSC Education Team require authorisation from their CTOs for member privacy.

A CTO will send a written request to the SLSNSW Member Training and Education Team to assign select TAFs the ‘LMS Access’ award in SurfGuard. This award will allow them to assist with the administrative task of online theory assessment reporting for up to 12 months.

When entering the SLS Members Area Document Library, ensure you have the following document settings selected:

  • Organisation = Surf Life Saving NSW
  • Categories = Education
  • Officer Positions = Education

Please note that some education resources released to the  Surf Life Saving Australia Library do not apply to SLSNSW members or are not currently endorsed for use in NSW (e.g., Education resources presently being piloted in NSW).

For this reason, the documents located on the SLSNSW website and within the SLSNSW Document Library will always link you to the latest version of resources endorsed for use within NSW.

Only currently endorsed TAFS and Probationary TAFs may see restricted education resources within the SLS Members Area Document Library.

Your local education officer manages the education document library for their respective SLS entity.

We recommend speaking with your SLS Branch Director of Education or SLSC Chief Training Officer to ask whether they plan to populate their library within the SLS Members Area Document Library.
