|
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!

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.

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

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.
