Poster: A snowHead

There have been a couple of posts along these lines, I hope the following links will be useful....
http://www.britski.org/instruct.pdf (for instructor qualification, artificial slopes) Two levels, either a CI (club instructor), beginners level, or ASSI (see below).
Becoming an ASSI (Artificial Slopes Ski Instructor)

To become a Snowsport England coach, two levels - either an ASPC (Artificial Slopes Performance Coach), or the higher level Snowsport England coach, entitling you to apply for an IVSI licence, with which you can coach skiers on snow:

sshure, that was more of a response to the several UK-based Brits who'd asked about basic dryslope instructor training within their own system, and the more advanced steps that follow...
This might be a useful section in the snowHeads site as a whole - pages on the various instructor training systems, particularly in Europe and in N.America....

PG, agreed! Seems that there's at least some interest in formal training. I must admit that I learned a lot from clinics and exams as a result of my formal PSIA training this past season. I am a far better skier than I was even at the beginning of the season.
