Level I Assessment Preps

Level I Assessment Preps help you prepare for this first step in your career as an instructor. The prep is required for all Alpine and Snowboard Level I candidates who are not yet affiliated with a resort, and supports anyone with limited access to formal training. Through the lens of the Learning Connection Model, gain an understanding of the Fundamentals (technical, teaching and people skills) in the beginner/novice zone. Through on-hill practice, peer-to-peer activities, teaching scenarios and group discussions, become familiar with the format, criteria and activities of the Level I Assessment.

Arrive prepared to be on snow for the full prep and able to ski or ride safely on all green and blue terrain.
