What This Qualification Covers
- The certificate emphasises park safety, etiquette, rider analysis and corrective and developmental teaching. Riding assessment includes small and medium jumps, grabs and spins, boxes and basic rails.
- The course page gives specific assessed feature and manoeuvre ranges. These should be read alongside the instructor's actual competence and resort rules rather than treated as unrestricted feature access.
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.

- Exam entry additionally requires completion of the workshop and Snowboard Level 2 or an accepted foreign equivalent. Workshop attendance alone is not the completed certification.
