STA Aquatics Tutor

£395.00 incl. VAT

Do you want to further enhance your career? Train the next generation of teachers? Share and empart your knowledge with others?

If so this is the course for you!

Upon successful completion this course allows you to deliver the relevant STA qualifications yourself to candidates. This means you could be teaching the STA Swimming Teacher, Baby and Pre-school or Open Water.

Upon successful completion of any probationary tasks, you could also add on further STA qualifications to tutor if you also hold them yourself, such as STA Swimming Teacher, Baby and Pre-school (depending upon which one you qualified in), Mermaid and Monofin, Open Water, Aquacise or Disability. You will also be able to deliver and assess the STA Safety Award for Teachers course, subject to holding an equivalent life-saving qualification.

Pre-requisites do apply for this course so please make sure you read the appropriate tabs. If, however, you have any questions or would like to walk through things, please get in touch. Don’t forget that if you don’t yet have the AET pre-requisite, we can help you achieve that as well!

Assessment Information

This course is 100% tutor-assessed throughout. The assessment is holistic to ensure people have the knowledge, skills and competencies to be a STA Tutor as well as possess the attributes which one expects Tutors and Assessors to hold.

Pre-requisites

You’ll need to make sure you’ve met the following requirements before you attend your course:

  • Level 3 Award in Education and Training (or equivalent/higher such as a PGCE or QTS)
  • A teaching qualification in the discipline you wish to Tutor which has been held for at least 2 years:
    • STA Certificate or equivalent (please note that STA Award or Swim England Level 1 are not acceptable equivalents)
    • STA Baby and Pre-school
    • STA Open Water.
  • An in-date Safeguarding certificate which expires after the last day of your course—if necessary, this can be completed via STA Online
  • STA Membership, which expires after the last day of your course
  • A witness statement demonstrating you have completed at least 200 hours of teaching within your desired discipline. This does not need to be anything extravagant, just somebody who can testify that you have taught 200+ hours and to a high standard.

Learners must have all pre-requisites in place before the start of the course. Qualification certificates cannot be issued if all pre-requisites are not met before the start of the course.

Your aquatic teaching qualification and witness statements must be supplied to book onto the course. It is possible to submit your Award in Education and Training at a later date; however, the certificate must be provided at least 6 weeks before the course commences. Without these, you will not be able to attend, and if already booked, no refunds will be issued. Therefore, if you are working towards this qualification, please ensure you have enough time to complete it AND be certificated—it is not acceptable to just have a provisional pass slip.

For support with regards to additional needs please see our Reasonable Adjustment policy and contact us for support.
