The Swimming Teachers’ Association is an international award-winning charity working towards the objective of preserving human life by the teaching of swimming, lifesaving and survival techniques.

This objective underpins all that we do at STA, and since 1932 has driven our commitment to providing the highest quality qualifications and charitable services within leisure.

As a national governing body for swimming and lifesaving with over 19,500 members, we continue to develop qualifications in swimming teaching, lifesaving and leisure management to support the needs of the industry.

Safety Training Awards is the awarding organisation of The Swimming Teachers’ Association, regulated by Ofqual and Qualifications Wales, and accredited by SQA Accreditation in Scotland.

As an awarding organisation, Safety Training Awards offers and certificates vocational qualifications across a range of swimming teaching, lifesaving, first aid, health and safety and pool plant disciplines. These qualifications are designed to meet both legal requirements and national occupational standards for various industries.

Safety Training Awards is also a CIMSPA Awarding Organisation Partner with many qualifications endorsed too, including all the Level 2 and Level 3 aquatic qualifications and first aid qualifications.

On top of this, Safety Training Awards also provides an extensive continuing professional development (CPD) programme to support leisure industry professionals with updating their knowledge and skills after gaining their qualifications.
