This course is nationally recognized and specifically recognized in the state of Illinois.

The StarGuard program is a blended learning experience which involves both an online self-study component and an instructor-led component. This online course replaces the traditional classroom component by allowing students to complete the self-study component without the need to be on-site to get thorough, professional instruction. StarGuard: Best Practices for Lifeguards online course will help students prepare to become lifeguards. Based on the StarGuard Risk Management model, this course highlights the best practices in the areas of prevention strategies, surveillance, emergency care, aquatic rescue, and professionalism and personal safety. The instructor-led component of the training follows the successful completion of the online course. Successful completion of the instructor-led component, which includes practical exams, earns certification.

The StarGuard online course integrates basic lifeguard training and the four key emergency care competencies (first aid, CPR and AED at the professional rescuer level, bloodborne pathogens, and emergency oxygen) all in one highly interactive program. This course is complemented by two texts, Complete Emergency Care and StarGuard: Best Practices for Lifeguards. The course is designed to work directly with these two texts, and it seamlessly directs users to the Emergency Care for Aquatic Personnel online course embedded within the StarGuard course. StarGuard is the only course to include all of these components, including emergency care, in one package.

The StarGuard instructor-led session is taught at the pool by experts in the lifeguards, aquatic risk management field. Many lifeguarding classes in the area are taught by instructors who just teach the course once a year and are not up on the latest in emergency care and lifeguard training. We use thousands of dollars of up-to-date rescue and resuscitation equipment.

When you sign up for a StarGuard course with us, both the online course and the instructor-led pool session are included.
