Looking to take the next step and become an RLSS UK Trainer Assessor?

KPM First Aid Training can deliver RLSS UK Trainer Assessor courses, providing candidates with the knowledge, practical skills and support needed to progress within lifesaving and lifeguard training.

Courses combine theory, practical activities, presentations and assessment, with a supportive approach throughout the programme.

Becoming a Trainer Assessor does not end when the course finishes.

KPM can provide mentoring and ongoing support to help new and developing Trainer Assessors build confidence, develop their delivery and work towards becoming competent and independent.

Support can include

• Mentoring following a Trainer Assessor course
• Observation and constructive feedback
• Support with training and assessment practice
• Guidance with documentation and evidence
• Building confidence in course delivery
• Ongoing professional development

Regular development and standardisation help ensure training and assessment remain consistent, current and of a high standard.

Sessions can be tailored around the needs of your trainers and organisation.

Support for individual trainers, teams and leisure organisations through

• Trainer development sessions
• Standardisation activities
• Practical skills updates
• Observation and feedback
• Support following updates to RLSS UK guidance
• Sharing good practice across training teams

KPM can provide independent Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) support to help organisations maintain high standards across their training and assessment activity.

This can include

• Observation of training and assessment
• Sampling of assessment decisions
• Review of course and assessment documentation
• Constructive feedback to Trainer Assessors
• Identification of good practice
• Recommendations for continued development

Desktop quality assurance audits can provide an independent review of training and assessment documentation without the need for an on-site visit.

This can be particularly useful for leisure centres and organisations wanting additional reassurance that records and processes are being maintained appropriately.

Following the review, clear feedback can be provided highlighting good practice, any areas requiring attention and opportunities for improvement.

Whether you manage a single leisure centre or a larger training team, KPM can provide flexible support based around the needs of your organisation.

From developing a newly qualified Trainer Assessor to providing standardisation, mentoring or independent quality assurance, the aim is to help your team maintain confident trainers, consistent assessment and high-quality training.
