Snowboard Instructor Qualifications in France

In France, BASI provides the examination framework for the snowboard instructor qualifications in which SnowSkool trains you. The mission of BASI - the British Association of Snowsport Instructors - is to create a national and international reputation for excellence through the provision of the highest quality of training and support services, for snowboard instructors. As a member state of the ISIA - International Snowboard Instructors Alliance - BASI snowboard instructors have become recognised and well-regarded on a global stage and this has led to many BASI members working as snowboard instructors throughout the world.

BASI Level 1 Snowboard Instructor

The five-day BASI 1 Level 1 snowboard instructor qualification is a precursor to the BASI Level 2 snowboard instructor qualification. Those passing the BASI Level 1 snowboard instructor exam will be able to snowboard confidently on red runs, linking rhythmical small radius turns at a steady pace close to the fall line. It is also a requirement of BASI that candidates log 35 hours of Snowboard School experience and this important component is an integral part of the SnowSkool snowboard instructor course.

BASI Level 2 Snowboard Instructor

Separating the women from the girls, the ten-day BASI Level 2 snowboard instructor exam is your gateway to landing a job as a snowboard instructor. Along with the 70 hours of Snowboard School experience required to pass the BASI Level 2 snowboard instructor qualification, your snowboarding will have improved to a degree where you can snowboard to the level required on variable terrain: on-piste, off-piste, through crud and bumps, down steep slopes and display a competence with your freestyle snowboarding in the terrain park. After a BASI Level 1 introduction to BASI’s Central Theme, the Level 2 snowboard instructor course will expand on this to develop a sound understanding and application of the Central Theme.
