Key Features

 

The training system clearly enhances BASIs reputation. BASI is part of the Alpine Group and BASI's top qualification matches the awards in the European Alpine countries of France, Austria and Italy (please note that only three other countries are in this position).

 

The training system acknowledges the different needs of the European market, the rest of the worldmarket and at the same time the domestic market, allowing for sensible and achievable goal-setting.  It is important for students to note that the system now meets the new requirements of the ISIA minimum standards and that the titles of the new qualifications have been designed to ensure easy recognition of each qualification and easier employability.

 

The training system matches training time and effort with the value of each award. Therefore the time taken to achieve Level 1 Instructor is five days. To gain the International Ski Teacher Diploma qualification should take from three to five years, where upon employment opportunities are considerable.

 

PLEASE NOTE: From the end of April 2006, it will become compulsory for BASI members wishing to teach in France, who have not achieved ISTD level, to have passed theTest Technique to become a Stagiere in France.
