The New EU CTT Stickers
What these are & the actions some may need to take to receive one
If you are currently a licensed Level 4 member and have previously received and MoU sticker you will automatically receive, or may have already received, the new CTT sticker. This replaces the old MoU sticker. If, however, you are no longer a BASI member or no longer hold an up-to-date BASI licence, but intend to continue to work, then you need to know that things have changed and you may need to take action. BASI wants to help you as much as we can so you can continue to work under the aims of the new delegated act.
Historically in France, for certain individuals, it has been possible to obtain the MoU sticker from either of the French ski instructors’ unions. This is no longer the case; the EU Commission delegated authority has informed these French unions that they must only issue the CTT stickers to French qualified instructors (e.g. those who hold the BEES 1er degré option ski Alpin).
In anticipation that some BASI qualified instructors may have relied on this process in the past, we want to ensure that BASI are able to issue these instructors with a CTT sticker so that they can continue to work. If this scenario applies to you, then you will need to re-join BASI for the standard annual membership fee but, as we want to help as much as possible, we will waive any rejoin fees this year. You will still need to provide the office with evidence of your;
- Current valid Carte Professionnelle
-
A valid first aid certificate – our list of providers/courses is here
- Having completed an annual CPD – our online CPD, valid for one year only, will suffice
Some of you might not know about the background of the CTT. “CTT” stands for Common Training Test, and it is the new test relating to the Delegated Act 2019/907 of 14 March 2019 for ski instructors. It effectively replaces the Eurotest. Documentation regarding this was made available publicly on the EU Commission website on the 6 June 2019 and communicated by BASI in the Chair/CEO Report sent out on the 19 June 2019.
The EU Commission delegated authority has the complete list of all instructors eligible for a CTT sticker and the associated individual number for each named instructor from each European Member State. Only those European ski instructors who fulfil the criteria according to the Delegated Act 2019/907 of March 14, 2019 are entitled to receive a CTT sticker. It is anticipated that these CTT stickers will only be needed for one year, as a new EU database listing all EU ski instructors who fulfil the CTT criteria should be in place before the end of 2020.
Each CTT sticker has a number that is allocated to an individual ski instructor, and indicates the country of qualification origin, which makes it uniquely identifiable. A sticker can only be authorised for distribution by the original national qualifying organisation that issued the qualification (i.e. ENSA, BASI, Collegio Regionale etc).
We hope that this information is clear, if you have any further queries then please do contact the office [email protected] if you need further guidance.
Wishing you all the very best for the rest of the season.

BASI interim CEO & Change Lead
