 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all..
Due to attend a BASI Level 1 Refresher course Saturday week. Has anyone on this site attended a refresher course or about to. Since I passed my Level 1 3 years ago, Never taught, shadowed a number of times but that's about all. Bit apprehensive.. Is it a pass or fail situation again. I hope not

I did a few during a period I wasn't teaching and don't remember anyone not getting their license revalidated. They were more like a day's training than assessment. I enjoyed them, have fun!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mr Hog Roast,
I'd make sure you have some sliding time before you attend. I have known people fail it......

scooby_simon, which kind of begs the question: what level are we assessed at during a refresher: L1, or the level on your licence if it is higher?
Right now ISIA members (L3+) have to do the same refresher as L1 but do it every year, unless further courses are attended. Should re-validation be tougher for L2,3,4? Roy (BASI product manager) mentioned a new refresher programme during the attendees meeting last week, be interesting to see what it consists of, and hopefully well see it announced quite soon.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Is the refresher day pass/fail? I've never done one but I thought that you just attended rather needed to pass?

You'll need to Register first of course.

I'm sure we were told on Friday (at the end of our Level 1 course) that the refresher was:
* to make sure we were up to date with the latest teaching methods, etc
* was not about our own skiing performance.
* was not a pass/fail thing, but about attendance

RobW, what happened to your reply post - or was I seeing things. In any case, I believe you now when you said that scooby_simon was simply pulling my leg. But what confuses me is that I understand from the information I picked up from the BASI Website that the refresher course also includes those that need to be re-assessed from a previous L1 course (failed a technical element) and those who want to convert from trainee instructor to L1 Instructor.
I will be interested to know how our Trainer will manage to refresh the L1'ners, assess the re-assessors and convert the converters all at the same time.

I did a BASI refresher end of last year at Castleford. Really enjoyed the day no pressure just informative and fun. Mix of L1/L2/L3 and my wife who was doing a SSE Level 2 conversion.
