Access LSV-From-Anywhere via your SLSA Members Area account. Go to eLearning. It will then ask you to login to the LSV portal, using exactly the same logins as your SLSA Members Area account. If this is your first requal (eg you did your SRC or Bronze last year) you will be asked to supply personal details at this point. You’ll know you’re in the right spot when the URL/browser bar says ‘https://mt.lsv.com.au’.

Make sure you are logged in as the person holding the award, not a parent! Check the name at the top of the screen. This is often an issue for eg teens trying to login to book a requal. Sometimes a device retains the cookies for a previous login – in this case, logout via the red button at the left side, and login again.

Click on Skills Maintenance. You can start with either 01 Complete E-Learning, or 02 Book Practical.

These instructions assume you’ll start with 01 Complete E-Learning. Launch. You may need to disable pop up blockers (Google ‘disable pop up blocker’ for help). You will move through some info and watch videos about PPE, mental health awareness, radio operations, resuscitation etc then you’ll go through your theory test, 36 questions. You can Save & Exit, and come back to it later. Press this button before leaving the Skills Maintenance window, to ensure you don’t lose your place and have to start over again. You have to achieve 100% correct responses; but it will allow you to try again with any questions you got wrong. Note, sometimes a question has a couple of correct responses and you need to select both.

SLSA has now released the PSAR Bronze Medallion Manual as an online doc. 

Go to clubs.lsv.com.au, login using your Members Area login details. Then go to Resource Library/handbooks and Guides/Member Training and find the manual link.

PSAR Manual 35th Edition Aug23

At the end, click on Save, then return to Skills Maintenance. Click on 02 Book Practical. Underneath, find eg Bronze Medallion (*then repeat this whole process, for any other awards you hold eg ART, IRBC). ‘Find a session’ (blue button on the right). Choose carefully as it’s hard to undo an enrolment! Enrol. Check/edit your personal details, then on the next page sign the declaration.

If you can’t see any Geelong area practicals available, check your ‘My Account’ section in Member Training, to check that your home club is set to Ocean Grove club. If you think you’re not linked, call or email LSV, 9676 6980 or volunteertaining@lsv.com.au.If you can’t see ANY options, it’s possible you have a browser problem – it’s worth trying another eg Chrome or Firefox.

You can do your theory component well in advance of your practical session if you like.

If you accidentally enrolled in another SM session/find you couldn’t attend it, the system won’t let you enrol for another session. In this case, pls email volunteertraining@lsv.com.au (allowing at least a couple of days for them to action it), and ask them to withdraw you from the other session. Give your name, club, session date and time. OGSLSC club admin cannot action this – only LSV can. You could then book another Practical.

Make sure you then go to My Results (button top right), scroll to Skills Maintenance Theory Certificates, ‘Download Certificate’. It helps if you print this (or have it on a device to show us) and bring it along on requal day.

Even if places are still available in a session, registrations will automatically close 48 hours prior to session start.

On requal day, complete your practical assessments and get each section signed off on the hard copy requal card. Before you leave, take a pic of your completed card on your phone as back up. Hand your completed card to your club. NOTE if you attend another local club’s requal day, take your card home at end of the day then give it to your OWN club’s administrator or trainer.
