Training is vital – it turns volunteers into lifesavers. Every year the RNLI delivers consistent, high-quality training to thousands of crew members at the Lifeboat College in Poole and at over 230 of its lifeboat stations.
Every crew member undergoes a structured training programme, and trainee crew members need to attain a level of competence before being fully enrolled as active crew. If you're interested in joining the crew, please visit our recruitment page.
