We had a need to enhance our pool and beach lifeguard capability and was advised by other colleagues throughout the UAE to contact LTAS Ltd, who had a lot of experience in providing this service within the UAE and came with a very good professional reputation.
We were highly delighted with the exceptional standards set by the company and with the very enviable portfolio of operational experience and industry reputation they have internationally. LTAS Ltd, for me, are a very rare diverse professional training and consultancy company, who have given all our pool and beach lifeguards an internationally recognised qualification standard, enhanced their confidence and competence, and provided us with outstanding services. I have worked with many professional trainers around the world during my sport and leisure career, but for me Pete Whittall, who provided the training, was exceptional. He is highly qualified, extremely well experienced and one of the most motivational leaders I have ever met. The remarkable change in all my lifeguards was something to behold.
I shall have no hesitation in making LTAS Ltd my first consideration for future lifeguard training.

We offer training opportunities to our staff, students and the wider community. LTAS Ltd were recommended to us by an employee who actually undertook training with the company himself. Organising First Aid courses that we run here through LTAS Ltd is a smooth easy process. There is always someone friendly and helpful on the end of the phone if I have an enquiry. We will continue to use LTAS Ltd in the future for our training purposes. Many thanks!

As a professional health and safety, education, training and consultancy business, within the same industry sector as LTAS Ltd, we were very impressed with the FAW and pool Lifeguard Trainer Assessor courses delivered by the company. Peter and his team provide an excellent service with consistently high standards and a very reliable and supportive back up infrastructure.

We originally contracted LTAS to provide ‘Open Water Training ‘ to our lifeguards, this helped them understand the unique hazards at the swimming beach at Keynes Country Park. We found Pete a highly knowledgeable and experienced professional who could engage our staff. In addition to training each summer, Pete wrote our Normal Operating Procedures and Emergency Action Plan for our beach, which is the frame work for how we operate our lifeguard team. Again his knowledge of the industry was key to the success of the document.
I would have no hesitation in recommending LTAS to other businesses; we will also continue to use their services.
