Skills Maintenance & Proficiency – Key Update for 2025/26

Proficiency season is nearly here, with session dates being finalised. All active members must complete skills maintenance to stay patrol-ready – but take note of this key change:

New for 2025/26: Lifesaving CPR is now included in the practical component for Bronze Medallion, SRC, and Resuscitation awards.
Sessions will run longer than the usual one-hour format, so please allow extra time.

To help you prepare, we’ve put together a handy cheat sheet with everything you need to know. Download it here

GENERAL PROFICIENCY INFORMATION/INSTRUCTIONS

Members with awards are required to keep their award proficient to comply with SLSA policies and members with an SRC/Bronze in particular are to do their proficiency before the 31st of December each year.

We have transitioned to an online platform allowing members to enrol in a Proficiency session via the members HUB. The online component of the SRC/Bronze proficiency must be completed before the 31st of December each year.

Please visit the links below to check out the “how to” guides. These should help you successfully enrol in a session which can be done via your phone or other device.

All members should have access to the members portal as you need access to complete the online Skills Maintenance which must be completed before you partake in a practical session.
