FAQ's

Do I need a level 1 before I do the STA Award?

No. The 'Level' refers to where the qualification sits on the Qualification framework. STA does not offer a level 1 qualification as the industry requires Level 2 teachers who can teach independently. 

I am a Swim England (ASA) Qualified teacher, can I still do the People with Disability qualification or a Safety Award for teachers?

Yes, of course. The STA does not discriminate against other awarding organisations.

I have no experience of swimming or teaching. Can I still join an Award course?

Yes, absolutely. The STA Award is designed for you, with no experience, you the competitive swimmer and everyone in-between.
