Course Price: £435
Course Duration: 5 days

Successful students will be able to ski to a competent level, have the knowledge, ability and understanding to safely teach alpine skiing up to and including parallel. Individuals who do not reach the required level may be required to resit part or all of the course.

Re-assessment

Re-assessments must be taken within 2 years of the date of the course failed otherwise the candidate will be required to pay for and attend the whole course again.

If a candidate fails the UK Level 2 course, they can book onto a 1 day Refresher/Level 1 Re-assessment course.

If a candidate fails the 1 day Re-assessment course twice, they must complete the whole 5 day UK Level 2 course again.  Alternatively candidates can do the Level 1 course again or attend the 10 day Level 2 Instructor course which would give them the Level 2 qualification.

Holders of the UK Level 2 qualification who fail the Level 2 Re-assessment twice must retake the whole Level 2, 10 day course.

If a candidate passes the UK Level 2 course, they are able to book onto a 5 day Level 2 Re-assessment course which would give them the Level 2 qualification.

A further 35 hours minimum of shadowing/teaching experience is required as part of the Level 2 Instructor Qualification. These hours need to be completed after the Level 1 qualification and before attending the Level 2 Instructor Course. They must be submitted to the BASI office 5 days prior to commencing the Level 2 Instructor Course. Ideally these hours should be teaching on a dry slope or indoor slope or shadowing an instructor in a snowsport school in Europe. A maximum of 6 of these hours can be completed at slopes using Maxxtracks technology, such as Skiplex or Chel-ski**.

If all signed hours are not received at the BASI Office FIVE days prior to commencement of the course, then you will not be eligible to attend the course and there will be no refund. It is your responsibility to organise this in a timely manner.

Students should provide a breakdown in writing of what they have covered during their Snowsport School experience, this should be on headed Snowsport School paper and be signed by the Snowsport School supervisor.

** Due to the nature of these slopes the instructor should always be mindful of how their lesson could be given on a dry slope or indoor snow slope where there are more slope users and a change of terrain (angle and underfoot conditions). Clients should be given instruction in accordance with the FIS code, particularly with regards to safety.
