Adaptive snowsport · Australian Professional Snowsport Instructors
What This Qualification Covers
- The course covers disability awareness, adaptive equipment, students with intellectual disabilities and cognitive challenges, neurodiverse students including those with autism, and students with visual impairments.
- It complements an instructor's existing primary-discipline training. It should not be represented as APSI Adaptive Level 2's separate Alpine pathway for physical disabilities and seated skiing.
FASS country rules
These are the active qualification conditions configured on FASS. They do not confirm that a person has met them or has permission to teach. Local professional and immigration requirements still apply.
No active FASS rule is recorded for these qualifications. This does not establish permission to teach or lack of recognition.
Training and Progression
- The published format is one in-house training day followed by an APSI assessment day. Entry requires current membership, work at an APSI-approved school, Alpine, Snowboard or Telemark Level 1 or an accepted international equivalent, and Adaptive e-learning.
- The in-house training day must be completed before assessment. The introduction mentions Nordic as a primary discipline, but the listed entry certificates omit Nordic; a Nordic applicant should obtain APSI's confirmation rather than assuming eligibility.
