How a class works

  1. Step 1

    Make the class

    Sign in, pick Lifeguard and name the class. It takes under a minute.

  2. Step 2

    Post one link

    Put the class link in your LMS, a slide or a group chat. Students join with just the name you know them by.

  3. Step 3

    See what to reteach

    Open the class page for scores, who practiced, and the topics and questions the class misses most.

What your students practice

Lifeguard certification has a written exam and in-water skills scenarios, and most courses require 80% or higher on the written exam. Courses also have swim prerequisites, such as a 300-yard continuous swim and a timed brick retrieval, and most require you to be at least 15. Certification, including CPR and AED, usually lasts two years.

Tigertest's practice follows the material every major lifeguard program teaches. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

  • Professional Lifeguard & Surveillance
  • Recognizing Drowning & Distress
  • Water Rescue & Spinal Injury
  • First Aid, CPR & AED
  • Facility Safety & Legal

Questions teachers ask

Is the Lifeguard class free?

Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.

Do my students need accounts?

No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.

What do I see as the teacher?

Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the Lifeguard topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.

Can I use my own questions too?

Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
