NRASTC Course Overview:
The NRASTC is a supervision and rescue qualification for teachers working on the poolside or in the water during programmed activities, such as swimming lessons. It is suitable for teachers working in a wide range of swimming pools, including pools where the water is deeper than the teacher’s standing depth.
The NRASTC certificate is valid for 2 years from the date of successful completion of the course.
