TWO new Largs RNLI volunteers have completed the first stage of their training and passed as qualified lifeboat crew.
After months of training in Largs and at the lifeboat college in Poole, Janet Iqbal and Kerryann Logan were assessed by Ally Young during a recent training session and passed Tier 1 with flying colours.
The RNLI Operational Competency Framework (OCF) is designed to provide volunteers with a structured training framework that can take individuals from joining all the way to becoming helm.
The pair now have their sights set on completing the OCF Tier 2 training. This will involve learning new skills along with practising those already learnt.
John Griffiths, Largs Lifeboat operations manager, said: "I am delighted for Janet and Kerryann.
"They have both worked very hard and shown dedication and enthusiasm throughout their training process."
