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 :-)

Booked onto a L1 course

Just booked myself onto a BASI L1 course at Hemel in the summer.

Is it worth doing some of their Instructor Training Sessions prior to starting the course?

Yes - Instructor training is a journey not a destination.

In a word, yes. You'll be asked to ski differently to how you're used to, both to improve your own performance and to demonstrate things clearly to those you're teaching, and getting a bit of practice of this in advance will mean you're not on a steep learning curve during the 5 days of the course.

I'd say Yes
I see you ticked quite a few boxes this season in another thread, so Id imagine your skiing is at quite a high level.
However unless you've been doing quite a lot of snow plough demos to beginners in a fridge, then I'd opt for some instructor prep type training. As well as getting the feel for skiing in a fridge.
Good Luck Smile

Here's hoping it is not like a driving exam then after all crashing into someone then is an automatic fail NehNeh

it is customary when passing BASI exams to get stupidly drunk. Anything less is letting the side down!
