Successfully completing this course is the only method for maintaining certification as an American Red Cross Lifeguarding instructor or instructor trainer.

Lifeguard Instructors and Instructor Trainers are required to take this review class every two years in order to maintain their LGI/LGIT certification.  You are required to pre-register for this course and complete your online update before you take the in-person review class.
