Lifeguards whose certificates have expired can renew their certificates by participating in compliance training within 6 months from the expiry date of the certificate. The lifeguard participating in the adaptation training is subjected to a written pre-exam by an authorized lifeguard training institution and organization. The missing information determined at the end of the exam is given by the trainer who is the authority of the training center.

The duration of the compliance training is determined by the trainer providing the training.

Lifeguards who do not renew their certificate within 6 months from the expiry date of the certificate must attend the Bronze Lifeguard Training again in order to be able to use their certificates again.
