The Amphibious Programme

The Amphibious programme has been designed specifically for the needs of students in third level colleges to make that smooth transition from studies to business. It will provide your Third Level Course of study with that perfect “ADDED VALUE “component. The programme combines a team work module with a choice of National Governing Body certified skills training courses in either canoeing, *pool lifeguard or *beach lifeguard. Qualifications in the latter disciplines will help your students access employment both locally & internationally.

The Teamwork Module, accredited by FETAC is an essential element of third level courses in the vocational area. On completion of Level 5 and Level 6 students gain employment in which team working will be an integral part of their working life.

We also deliver orienteer training & electronic orienteer events, certified First Aid Courses and Defibrillation Training. Click on COURSES to view full details of these.

• The Social Care & Health & Caring Services
