The Training Portfolio
While all of our key roles are currently staffed, we’re always looking for smart, ambitious patrollers to join the team.
If you have an interest in training – each of our department team leads could use some help, and we’re always looking for fresh ideas to help us improve and evolve! Please contact Wyn Smith at vptraining@skipatrolcentral.com to learn more. Note, it’s preferred but not essential that you are already an ICP certified instructor.
