This milestone marks the latest achievement in Lisa’s journey to becoming a fully qualified lifeboat crew member.

Since joining Llandudno lifeboat in 2023, Lisa has shown dedication to both training and active service, balancing her professional life with a strong commitment to saving lives at sea. Outside the RNLI, Lisa is the Lead Nurse at Madoc Dental Care in Llandudno.

The Tier 1 assessment is a rigorous test of both theoretical knowledge and hands-on capability, ensuring crew members are prepared to meet the demands of lifeboat operations. The session was overseen by Local Assessor Trainer Bert Williams, who praised Lisa’s focus and performance throughout the evaluation.

With Tier 1 now complete, Lisa will progress to Tier 2 training, the next critical stage in the RNLI’s structured training programme.
