National Pool Lifeguard Qualification?

Hi, I'm in the process of putting my qualifications on UCAS and I want to put my Lifeguarding Qualifcation on it cos its an official qualification but i can't find the right place to put it as it is not an option, I tried in 'other' but the box for examining body won't let me put 'the institute of qualified lifeguards', hmmm has any one got any suggestions or had this problem in the past?

Oh one more thing, my music qualifications, does it matter if you don't put and centre number? as I really don't think it has one...

Thanks

Hey, glad to see anouther lifeguard out there! I did not put the qualfication on my UCAS, instead I listed the job i received from it and included it on my personal statement.

Crap I forgot to mention it on my personal statement! I put about my ASA assistant teacher qualification instead! But 2 of my jobs in employment are lifeguarding ones, so should be alright!
Do you get UCAS points for doing the lifeguard course
