Telemark skiing · Professional Ski Instructors of America and American Association of Snowboard Instructors

What This Qualification Covers

  • The September 2026 standards cover teaching through the intermediate Telemark zone, primarily on blue and some green terrain.
  • This is a free-heel Telemark qualification. The technical standards assess Telemark skiing performance, technical understanding and movement analysis alongside teaching and people skills; this is distinct from an Alpine ski or cross-country award.
  • The national award does not establish a professional licence, immigration permission or permission to operate independently in another country.

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

  • Level II is part of the three-level PSIA Telemark certification pathway. Build experience beyond the preceding certification and use the discipline-specific national standards to prepare for assessment.
  • Check the delivering region's current entry, experience and assessment requirements. The standards assess people, teaching and technical skills together with professionalism; passing a preparation course or one assessment component is not the full certification. Current membership and continuing education are required to maintain certified status.

Check the awarding body's current syllabus for entry requirements, course dates, fees, and assessment rules.
