Requals

This year requals will be running a little differently! Due to restrictions on registration numbers, we will be holding requals on patrol days.

The requal requirements themselves are also different:

  • IRBC: online theory only required
  • IBRD: online theory and present your marine license at the registered requal
  • Bronze: online theory, demonstrations and run swim run
  • ART: online theory and demonstrations

Before you attend the requal you MUST complete the online theory component and watch the relevant COVID training videos here.

Due to changes in LSV policies, to keep your units of competency up-to-date (the nationally recognised units, not just the LSV awards that we requal) you must attend seperate refresher courses. All Trainers and Assessors must have their units of competency up-to-date to train or assess.

Portsea will be running refresher courses for the following units of competency:
