Description

SLSNZ has begun moving towards online learning with the Level 1 Surf Officials award. 

To enable a better transition throughout the process, we are aiming to get as many keen officials on the beaches for training as possible. 

In order to do so, the Central Region is aiming to take intakes throughout the season, so key officials are able to target key events.

This will also allow a much smoother facilitation process in order to be signed off as a Surf Official Level 1. 

If you are interested to become a level 1 surf official please contact your club administrator to sign up for the Surf Officials level One course.

This first intake will ideally be enlisted to help officiate with the upcoming pool champs events but is not compulsory. 

Once the registration window has closed (August 1st, 2020), all members who have signed up will receive their login details to the online learning portal.
