National Lifeguard Recertification: National Lifeguard certification is current for 2 years and is recertified by completing a National Lifeguard recertification exam. The recertification may require 6 - 8 hr. depending on the number of candidates. Check Find a Course for facilities offering National Lifeguard recertification in your area.

The National Lifeguard recertification exam is your opportunity to demonstrate your skills and recertify your award.

The required content for this curriculum can be found in your Alert text and the Canadian Lifesaving Manual.
