No, one doesn't get two certifications for just one class. I am a BSA aquatics instructor and am also Red Cross certified, and while you have to be seperately certified, by taking the Red Cross lifeguard course, you will have no problem going through the BSA class also. They are very similar, but still have their own tests and requirements.

Please refer to What do you need to become a lifeguard no degree is required in order to become a lifeguard all that you have to do is get certified in the professorial rescuer and CPR and aed for infants,kids and adults -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Most facilities (per state law) require their lifeguards to be able to present the following documentation proving they have passed the respective courses administered by the American Red Cross: 1. CPR/AED for the professional rescuer. 2. First Aid for the professional rescuer. 3. Professional lifeguard. Normally, all three certifications can be earned by passing one course. Professional lifeguard certification expires every three (3) years, while CPR/AED for the professional rescuer and First Aid for the professional rescuer expire once every year. Thus, after passing your first "Lifeguarding" class, you will have to take one class each for CPR/AED and First Aid on an annual basis, which usually only takes about one day of review and a test at the end. Your employer may also require you to submit to a drug test and be in good standing with your past employers (if you have any).
