Want to teach?
SnowDome will be hosting BASI level 1 this year.
The BASI 1 is an entry level course for skiers and snowboarders with aspirations to join the BASI education system.
The minimum standard expected for the course is confidence at turning on all types of slope and terrain. A sound knowledge of skiing or snowboarding itself is also useful.
The BASI level 1 qualification is for those wanting to find employment in a non-mountain environment, i.e. indoor snow facility etc. It is also the first stage of the BASI Instructor Level 2.
All candidates must be 16 years and above with a good technical ability and an understanding of client care.
Courses run for 5 days, Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm
