How do I get my school verified, and what does the Verified badge mean?

Open Verification in your dashboard, complete the current application and submit it for an administrator's decision. Approval creates the scoped School verification approved status; it does not by itself confirm every identity, qualification, insurance or other evidence claim.

Quick answer

Open Verification in your dashboard and follow the current application steps. AI may assist with pre-screening, but a Find a Ski School administrator makes the decision. If approved, your profile shows School verification approved, a scoped platform status rather than a guarantee that every document or credential was independently checked.

How do I get my school verified, and what does the Verified badge mean?

Use the Verification section of your school dashboard to submit the current application. A Find a Ski School administrator can approve it, request more information or reject it. AI may assist with pre-screening, but it cannot approve an application.

If the application is approved and the status is current, the public profile can show School verification approved.

The application process

  1. Open Verification in your school dashboard.
  2. Complete the fields and provide the information currently requested for your application.
  3. Review the submission for accuracy and send it for review.
  4. Respond through the dashboard if more information is requested.
  5. If an administrator approves the application, the scoped school-status label can appear on the profile.

The dashboard is the source of truth for the current application fields and status. Do not rely on an old generic checklist or an estimated review time.

What information might be requested?

The application can ask for business, contact, qualification, insurance, permit or identity information where relevant. The exact fields can vary by provider, role and context.

Supplying an item as part of an application does not mean the public badge independently authenticates it. An evidence-specific check should be relied on only when the platform shows that capability separately.

What does the school status mean?

Find a Ski School labels a school's current verification status, an instructor's own approved application and affiliation with a verified school as three separate signals. Evidence-specific checks appear separately only when the platform stores evidence for that capability.

School verification approved: This school has a current Find a Ski School verification status. The status does not by itself say that every licence, insurance policy, qualification, safeguarding check or member of staff has been independently verified.

Verification is a scoped platform status, not an endorsement or a guarantee of quality, safety, competence, legal permission to work, insurance cover or lesson outcome. Check any evidence that matters to your decision.

How is this different from instructor labels?

  • Instructor verification approved records an administrator's approval of that instructor's own application.
  • Verified school affiliation records that an instructor is affiliated with a school whose Find a Ski School verification status is current.

Neither label should be inferred from the school badge. A current school status does not verify every instructor or their qualifications.

When can my school take online bookings?

Providers may be listed before a verification status is approved. Where the current booking gate requires verification, online booking and payment features remain unavailable until the required status is current.

Other activation requirements may also apply. Use the dashboard's current status and instructions rather than treating the badge as a guarantee that every booking requirement is complete.

Drafts, feedback, and renewal

Save the draft and resolve the application checklist before submitting. Follow the status panel if your application is being reviewed, needs more information, or requires correction. Check document-specific feedback and replace or update the relevant evidence through the form; avoid creating a duplicate application to bypass a decision.

Where a renewal action is offered, start it from the existing verification record. A renewal is reviewed as a new application linked to the previous one; submitting it is not instant approval or a promise to extend an expired status. Check the current public status and validity dates separately.

Keeping the application accurate

Update your school and application information when it changes. The public badge reflects the current platform status; it does not promise that every underlying item remains current.

If more information is requested or the application is rejected, use the decision shown in the dashboard to correct the relevant information before resubmitting.
