BASI Level 4 training

BASI Level 4 Training Course – Ski instructor

BASI Level 4 trainingThe 2014-15 season was to be my 4th ski season, I did my gap year in Canada and taught for a ski school there for 2 more seasons and passed my CSIA level 3. I then missed a year and a half due to knee injury so was anticipating to have dropped a bit of my skiing ability. I decided to book onto the Altitude level 4 training course for two reasons, firstly I wanted to focus on improving my skiing which you can’t necessarily do working full time in a season. Secondly the opportunity to work in the peak weeks whilst training would offset the cost a bit. Verbier was a great resort to train in, it’s a huge ski area with plenty of challenging runs to keep the training fresh. The trainers were awesome and had a huge impact on everybody’s skiing during the season.

If you’ve passed your level 3 and are struggling to make the progress needed to get the the level 4 standard I strongly recommend this course, I had a lot of fun, met loads of great personalities and most importantly progressed my skiing to the extent that I’m considering taking the level 4 exam at the end of next season!

Having just completed my BASI Level 2 course and spent two and a half months in the mountains I wanted to make the right choice to grow into the role of a ski instructor and carry on improving my skiing and teaching. I loved my level 1 and 2 training and I wanted to learn more.

Na 15 jaar te hebben gewerkt als horeca ondernemer was ik het op een gegeven moment zat, ik wilde mijn passie achterna en dat was skiën. Het duurde nog even voordat het mogelijk was de nog bestaande zaken te verkopen maar in 2016 was het zover, ik ging beginnen aan de opleiding van skileraar via BASI bij Altitude in Verbier.

After growing up surrounded by enthusiastic skiers and qualifying as a level 2 instructor in the Canadian system, training towards my level three was the obvious next step. After hearing high praises about the altitude ISIA and level 3 training programme from other Canadian qualified Europe based instructors, I didn’t hesitate to book my place, and spend my third ski instructing season in Verbier. Although it is a BASI focussed training programme, the trainers were very open minded and interested in the CSIA system and the type of skiing focuses and objectives that they have.
