The second CSIA ski-instructor certification develops skiing and lesson delivery through separate development components and assessment of both skills.

What This Qualification Covers

  • The complete qualification includes the related skiing and teaching outcomes. Passing only a skiing track or only a teaching track must not be presented as full Level 2 certification.
  • Skier Development refines performance on groomed and ungroomed blue terrain; Teacher Development broadens safe lesson design, assessment and development of students. The course page does not define a single maximum learner level, so its training terrain should not be turned into an unrestricted teaching entitlement.
