The PUA20119 Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue) is designed for introductory level participants in aquatic rescue activities. This will include rescuing, resuscitating and performing basic first aid in aquatic incidents that may involve oceans, rivers, swimming pools and vessels operating in coastal areas. The role of an aquatic rescuer is to recognise and rescue a person experiencing difficulty in the water, to identify and use different types of rescue equipment and to communicate with community members and other agencies in the event of an aquatic emergency. This may include undertaking basic patrol duties and developing surf awareness to be able to participate in lifesaving operations. This qualification includes the units of competency required by aquatic rescuers to perform a range of activities such as responding to rescue incidents and conducting patrols. It typically involves working as a team member, under guidance, in aquatic rescue operations. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

Adam provided excellent support throughout my Heavy Mechanic qualification. Despite some delays, he kept us informed and consistently reassured us. His professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother. I highly recommend his service.
Adam made it so easy to get my certificate. He did all the work for me and let me know what he needed from me, I had a very good experience.
Fantastic service, advice and support! Well done RPLit!!!
Couldn't be happier with the service from Adam! I was a bit skeptical at first since everything seemed quite easy to achieve. But Adam knew his stuff, and he guided me through the process very efficiently, and supported me with any queries along the way. It only took me nearly 2 weeks to get my Diploma with NO tasks required, purely from my profile.
Excellent RPL service. They guided me through the whole process to obtain my Certificate III in a clear and professional way. Communication was always quick and helpful. I really appreciate their support and highly recommend them.
