Try logging in to your BASI Account and look at their "Partners" they should have what you need but I'm not sure why you want a Season Course just to do BASI Level II? If you need additional coaching or to do your hours there are much cheaper ways than a whole season course.

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

Well maybe not a season long course, just trying to find a course that offers just a level 2 BASI, everything I’ve seen even from the Basi partners only offers 1 and 2 together, thanks

I'm sure if you asked a level 1 and 2 course provider they could drop the level 1 training for you.

Sounds like what you are looking for.
Otherwise most gap course providers will let you join for the level 2 training if they have space but will probably wait to quite close to the time before selling a cheaper place.

Thanks guys, this feedback is mega really appreciate it, additionally has anyone gone out on a season without paying for a full 12 week program sort of thing, then right at the end done their Basi 2, at the moment I like to think I am an alright snowboarder, can 50-50, fs board and throw 180s flat and on kickers then ride switch comfortably, I know it’s hard to say but I don’t want to go out there and not be up to the standard, thanks!

12 years ago I did a 12 week instructor course in Whistler and passed the CASI snowboard levels 1 and 2. I'd say I was about your level but my technique was shocking and to begin with the instructors put me in the lowest group. They ripped my riding to shreds but I took their instructions seriously and really focussed on improving my riding (i.e. I worked on the techniques in all conditions when not under instruction). With that mindset you'll certainly pass the level 2 and will be grateful for your riding standard for the rest of your life. If I were you I wouldn't worry about ability it's a case of how willing you are to learn and train.
And in case you wondered:......hands down the best decision I ever made.

@GardenerSam, it’s definitely not necessary to a season-long course to do BASI 2. I actually can’t think of any top-level snowboard instructors who have done it that way, although I’m sure there’s some. Go do a season, base yourself somewhere with plenty of British instructors and you’ll soon find other people with similar plans. Tignes or Morzine would be my recommendations. Get some input from a BASI trainer or top level instructor so that you know what you need to work on and to make sure you’re making the right progress.
Sounds like your freestyle is pretty solid, but remember there’s not much freestyle in level 2, it’s more about turns and teaching. Solid carving, forwards and switch. Nice, round turns on steeps and in variables.
