Resort Workers

Certification or Licensing

Most entry-level resort jobs do not require certification or a license. This, however, is not the case with specialty workers. Ski instructors, scuba instructors, child-care workers, and lifeguards, just to name a few, must be certified. Most resort workers do not need to be licensed, although security guards must typically be licensed to carry a firearm.

Some resorts require applicants be trained in CPR and first aid. Check with the human resources department of your potential employer to learn about their requirements.
