Ensure your workforce is prepared for water-related hazards with our comprehensive CorePass® Competent Life Jacket User certification..

The certification covers:
- Identifying and differentiating between main life jacket types

This certification is ideal for:

Graduates of this ticket receive a certificate that includes a wallet card with QR code, making verification easy.
The CorePass® Competent Life Jacket User is valid for 12 months (which perfectly aligns with annual equipment checks).
Our CorePass® scheme is different from our other certifications (such as CertPubS®, DefraQual®, ProQual, WorkQual etc), as it does not use the ISO17024:2012 standard. This means the assessor can also be the candidate’s instructor and a lighter level of quality assurance applies. Assessment is still robust with the Accredited Testing Provider still required to ensure assessment tools used are compliant and that evidence is retained for external audit and moderation.
