Course Description:
The Alpine Level 1 On-Snow Assessment measures your skiing, teaching, and people skills against the PSIA Alpine Level I National Standard. Level I affirms that an instructor is qualified to teach beginner and novice guests.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In order to register for the on-snow portion of the exam, you need to have completed the Alpine Level I online professional knowledge exam and the online Alpine Level 1 eLearning course – both can be found at LMS.thesnowpros.org (login with your user name and password).
If you do not work for a school, you will need to have completed the Level 1 prep clinic before registering, or be registered for the prep clinic. To pass the Level 1, all components have to be passed; there are no partial passes.
Make sure you are familiar with the Alpine Standards (what you are assessed to), and the Alpine Certification Guide (the exam process).
