If you can read this, it means you can now log-in to a members only area where there will be information, documents, e-learning material developed by SLSA Wales for use by its members.  The initial material located there will refer to the new Awards Manual and its associated paperwork, as well as question papers for the electronic testing for the new beach lifeguard assessment.  This member’s only area will be an ongoing development and it is 'kicked-started' with an e-learning grant from the RNLI.
 
Q.  How do I log-on?
A.  With my membership number and Surname.
Q.  What if I don't know my membership number?
A.  See you Club or Membership Secretary.

WORLD FIRST
SLSA Wales becomes the first major surf lifesaving organisation to introduce electronic testing to its Surf Beach Lifeguard award.  From the 1st January 2012, all Beach Lifeguard candidates will be tested for their under pinning knowledge using the Quizdom electronic handsets.  Similar to the popular game show, "Who wants to be Millionaire", candidates will have 15 minutes to answer 30 questions covering the range of expected lifeguard knowledge.  This system which is used in Colleges and Universities throughout the UK, will be expected to make the asking and answering of questions much fairer and should increase consistency and quality standards as a result.  All Trainers/Assessors will be given full details in the forth coming updates.
