Ski / Snowboard United Kingdom : HOW TO GET STARTED

BASI is the UK based membership association responsible for the training and licensing of snowsport instructors. 

• BASI Level 1 - Allows you to work with beginner to early intermediate skiers – but you're only qualified to teach at dry slopes and indoor snow centres.
• BASI Level 2 - Allows you to teach up to and including parallel turns on marked pistes. For those who want to do seasonal or part-time work teaching for a ski school in the mountains.
• BASI Level 3 - Allows you to teach up to and beyond parallel turns, including bumps, steeper terrain, higher speeds and variable conditions, both on piste and off piste on marked routes. For those wanting to work full-time as an instructor at an international ski school.
• BASI Level 4 - In addition to everything you're qualified to do with Level 3, you can teach anywhere off piste (apart from glaciated terrain). This qualification includes the Euro Speed Test, and allows you to teach anywhere in France, Austria or Italy.
