Throughout the first day, candidates revisit practical rescue skills, first aid procedures and operational coaching responsibilities through a combination of classroom learning and practical ocean sessions. Instructors provide guidance and coaching while helping candidates prepare for the formal assessment phase. Practical sessions take place across beaches around Newquay depending on the conditions and course requirements. Candidates complete rescue drills, casualty management exercises, board and tube rescues, spinal injury procedures and resuscitation scenarios within realistic surf environments. The refresher also revisits profiling, environmental awareness, control and command systems and working alongside emergency services during coastal incidents.

The Safety pathway covers ankle to waist-deep teaching environments, while the Rescue pathway allows coaches to operate further into the surf zone with rescue capability beyond the break. 📍 Location Training operates from Newquay Harbour with practical sessions delivered across a range of local beaches depending on swell, tides and weather conditions.

The required swim standard differs between the Safety and Rescue awards. ### What happens during the refresher day? The refresher day focuses on revisiting rescue procedures, coaching safety systems, protocol updates and practical rescue skills before formal assessment takes place. Instructors also provide guidance and coaching to help candidates prepare for the reassessment elements. ### Where does the training take place?
