Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Congratulations to Little Martin on passing his BASI Level 1 alpine instructor qualification. Those Instructor FastTrack sessions with Scott did the trick! Well done mate, pleased for you.

Thanks! The help from Scott on the fast track sessions certainly helped, my trainer really likes my shorts which were an issue prior to the training with inside out.

To think it's only 18 months since I started skiing I am really happy with how things went Very Happy

@Little Martin, You should be really proud of your pass, You made some excellent progress during our prep course and your shorts came on loads. Delighted to hear your trainer was digging your shorts as that was the area that you worked most on Cool Cool Cool

Nobody told me teaching kids would be this knackering, up and down the slope picking them up after they fall over Shocked

@Little Martin, ha! When they tell you to get fit to be a ski instructor you soon realise that's not for your own personal performance - it's so that you're able to pick up an endless stream of falling down kids!

@Little Martin, it does rather motivate you to get them skiing well enough that the don't fall over so much though.

Lying down doing nothing, whilst you hope the others can work out what's wrong with you is very cold Wink

Thankfully we only did a few things on the slope, Sunday we were out on the grass at the top of the car park.

I did it with BASP - http://www.basp.org.uk/basp_course/EM2/

There's a few others that also do it at hemel, but I think BASP was cheapest when I looked.

This course also gives you SQA - Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

Presentation, questions, warm up ski, 15 mins ish teaching session (can be anything), and checking availability.

It's nothing to be worried about, I just did a few bits from a Level 1 lesson. Safety is obviously important, and making sure you know what you are talking about helps Wink

You then have a 2 hour induction where you are shown around, the various levels and lessons you could be teaching etc, how the slope is split up for lessons, how to use the computer system and a quick run through on skis the levels and the expected goal for each level.
