Foreign Certification Equivalency Policy

PSIA-AASI Foreign Certification Equivalency Policy

Snowsports instructors with foreign certification seeking PSIA-AASI certification:

• Must become a member of PSIA-AASI.
• Must be current and provide proof of active certification from another country/association.
• We will reference the PSIA-AASI Foreign Certification Equivalency for the equivalent level of certification.
• Once the equivalent level of certification has been accepted, we will add a Universal Equivalency at the correct level to your education record, so the system recognizes the courses / events you are qualified to take.
• The holder of an equivalent foreign certification may take the equivalent level of PSIA-AASI certification or one level above, up to Level 3.
• PSIA-AASI certification is not granted until successful completion of the entire assessment process including prerequisites.
• PSIA-AASI certification must be maintained by obtaining continuing education credits as outlined in the CEU Management Policy.
