MOVING ON UP IN THE SKIING WORLD?
Becoming a level 3 ski instructor is the first step towards achieving your ISIA stamp. Applicants should be aware that to get the stamp you must also consider becoming certified in a second discipline (such as snowboarding), learning a second language, doing some race training, and completing further education modules to fulfil ISIA criteria. For more information please contact us.
The CSIA recognise the international equivalency of most national Level 2 qualifications. So if you have Level 2 in BASI, APSI, NZSIA, IASI or any other equivalent certification then you can join us.
SUN PEAKS
An perfect resort for achieving CSIA level 3. With 3 mountains all leading into the resort, and over 4000 acres of terrain of all types, for all levels, this is one of British Columbia’s – and Canada’s – premier winter sports destinations.
