Simplifying "instant" awards
The Lifesaving Society wants to make your life easier. That's
why the following awards are always "instant," meaning the
affiliate (you or your employer) issues the permanent certification
cards along with the appropriate seals or crests directly to the
successful candidates. These awards are:
- Canadian Swim Patrol (Rookie, Ranger, Star),
- Basic First Aid, CPR-A, -B, -C,
- Anaphylaxis Rescuer, and
- Fitness (Bronze, Silver, Gold).
Awards are purchased from the Society in advance of the course
so that they may be presented to the candidates upon successful
completion of the course. The Lifesaving Society does
not require a copy of the test sheets for these award
levels. Just keep the test sheets on file in your
office.
Failing to issue certification cards upon course completion will
lead the unknowing candidate to call the Society looking for his or
her card. The Society will have to call you - requiring you to
correct the error after the fact.
For all other Society awards, send test sheets to the Society's
office immediately upon completion of the exam. The Society records
the certification on the candidate's record (which can be viewed on
the Find a Member
page of our website) and then issues the permanent certification
card directly to the successful candidate.
