Carrybridge RNLI Volunteers Successfully Complete Tier Two Passout
Carrybridge Lifeboat Station is proud to announce that five of its dedicated volunteer crew members, Andrew Webb, Joe Donnelly, Simon Carson, Richard Daly and Colin Beacom have successfully completed their final Tier 2 assessments, marking a significant milestone in their lifesaving journey.
This final pass-out assessment represents the culmination of more than three years of intensive training. All the volunteers have logged hundreds of hours in afloat exercises, hands-on sessions, and active service calls in all conditions.
Carrybridge RNLI continues to train volunteers in various roles, both afloat and ashore, to the highest standards as part of its mission to save lives on Lough Erne.
Chris Cathcart, Volunteer Lifeboat Training Coordinator noted, “I am very happy with the time and commitment taken by all the newly qualified Tier 2 crew to reach this milestone on the lifeboat journey. All the crew completed their Tier 2 tasks to a very high standard during their final passout, and I wish them every success in their further progression.”
Stephen Scott, Lifeboat Operations Manager at the station says, “I’d like to thank all the crew who have passed these assessments. We are very fortunate to have a really dedicated volunteer crew at our station and I’m delighted that today we celebrate Andrew, Joe, Simon, Richard and Colin reaching this significant milestone. RNLI crew train to an extremely high standard and devote a lot of their time to our charity. This has paid off with their latest achievements which enables them to progress to the next level of training within the RNLI.”
