Myth 5: “Some schools only employ BASI 3 qualified instructors”
In recent years some schools started to advertise that they only employ ISIA certified instructors or above, mainly to try to stand out in a competitive market as there are now so many schools to choose from. It’s well known in Verbier for instance that these schools have also employed BASI 2’s as well, suggesting that there are opportunities for all levels of instructors and it is more a question of who is best for the job.
Altitude have been running BASI training courses for almost 20 years, and we currently offer both free and paid ‘Work and Train’ opportunities in our resorts around Switzerland. We hope you find this article helpful and if you are a newly qualified instructor wishing to know more about training opportunities and pitfalls please do get in touch.
