What This Qualification Covers
- This award concerns Alpine ski instruction. Canada's snowboard instructor qualifications are awarded through the separate CASI pathway.

Training and Progression
- The three-day course assesses skiing and teaching. Candidates must be at least 14 on the first day and already ski parallel with speed control on blue and black runs; this is instructor training rather than a learn-to-ski course.
- Level 2 is the next main certification step and develops both skiing and teaching. Check current course entry and completion requirements before enrolling.
Check the awarding body's current syllabus for entry requirements, course dates, fees, and assessment rules.
