Certified Praesidium Guardian
Keep Your Certification Active.
As of January 1, 2023, all existing certifications have been extended for three years, expiring on January 1, 2026. Before their expiration on January 1, 2026, Guardians must meet two requirements to renew their certification for an additional three years: (1) pay a $500 recertification fee*, and (2) earn 30 Safety Points. These Safety Points can be accumulated through various activities, at any time and in any sequence, during the three-year period.
Guardians are responsible for tracking earned safety points by following THESE STEPS.
*Note: The $500 recertification fee applies unless otherwise stated in a contractual agreement. There is no recertification fee for YMCA Guardians.
