Re-assessment
Re-assessments must be taken within 2 years of the date of the course they have failed otherwise the candidate will be required to pay for and attend the whole course again.
If a candidate fails both the Teaching and the Technical elements of the course, they must retake the whole 10 day Level 2 course.
If a candidate fails the Teaching or Technical element of the Telemark Level 2 course, they can book onto 5 days of the 10 day Telemark Level 2 course: week 1 is for technical re-assessments and week 2 is for teaching re-assessments. There is no limit to the number of re-assessments allowed on each course.
If a candidate fails the re-assessment, they must complete the whole 10 day Level 2 course again.
