TIME COMMITMENT AND PRE-LEARNING

Please note that all of our Trainers, Assessors and Subject Matter Experts are volunteers and respect their time by making sure you are prepared to participate in all aspects of your course. SLSQ has moved to a blended learning approach to training and this means that you must complete pre-learning for all courses before attending the practical sessions.

BECOME A TRAINER, ASSESSOR, ENDORSED DELEGATE OR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT

If you have knowledge to share and want to give back to Mudjimba SLSC then becoming a Trainer, Assessor, Endorsed Delegate or Subject Matter Expert is a great way to make the most of your volunteering time! Please email training@mudjimbasurf.com.au to discuss the various options.
