How does this help you?

  • This is important if you wish to use your AQX Certification with organizations other than the one where you took your AQX Certification.
  • You do not need to purchase private insurance if you are working for a municipality, University, or other large organization that insures you.  
  • Some private facilities, private pools, Clubs, cruise ships, etc. may require you to provide proof of insurance.  Now you can arrange that!
  • This means your AQX Certification is valid anywhere in Canada!
  • Rates will vary, depending on the populations you will teach.
​


​AQX Certification (+ valid CPR & First Aid) qualifies you to purchase insurance through Sports & Fitness Canada Insurance.  ​
