Before you start your BASI Level 1 qualification you should meet the following criteria as recommended by BASI. If you are unsure about your ski level and nervous about booking an exam or training package you can join us at one of our Open Days in the UK where a trainer can give you some honest feedback and advice.
The Level 1 qualification is made up of four key modules that all need to be completed to enable to you teach, these are:
You will also need a criminal records check to obtain your BASI License.
I would like to spend an extended period of time in a ski resort and would require some training prior to taking my exam. I would like to get all of the modules completed in one hit rather than having to arrange these myself.
I would like to get all of the modules completed in one hit rather than having to arrange these myself. I want to do this pre season so that I am finished before Christmas and have the rest of the season to work and or play.
I feel quite prepared for my Level 1 and I don’t think I need any training before the exam. I am only able to get a short time off from work to take the exam, so I will look at completing the additional modules at a later stage.

The BASI Level 1 qualifies you to teach in a non mountain environment, such as a snowdome or dry ski slope. Full time and part time jobs are available with wages at around £8 to £10 an hour. Due to the fact that the busiest times for snowdomes and dry slopes are often weekends and holiday time working with your BASI Level 1 could be a great and way to earn some money while you study. Working with your level 1 also gives you a taste of life as a ski instructor to help you decide if you want to continue through the BASI system.
