Dubai-based aquatic industry trainers SST have announced that registrations are now open for their International Safety School-East program for 2023.

"The event will see five full days of interactive sessions, hands-on instruction, educational seminars, and an International Lifeguard Training Program™ (ILTP®) Instructor Course. IASS-East is designed for aquatic professionals of any skill level or experience. Many owner/operators see this as a 'must-attend' annual event for themselves, management and their instructor team. Participants benefit greatly by the interaction with Faculty members and instructors from around the world.

"Candidates should expect a wide range of educational sessions delivered by a host of speakers from around the globe."
