Why do
people choose the Canadian ski/snowboard instructors award?
Snow Challenge is a training company
producing great quality snow sport instructors. We regularly receive enquiries
from ski schools across Europe looking for skilled, reliable instructors, and
their preference for certification has been CSIA/CASI without exception. So what makes the Canadian award system so
welcome around the world?
Most importantly, at all levels, the
Canadian approach to instructing is shaped by the needs of the guest,
recognising their individual abilities, learning styles and goals. High standards of guest service are part of
the instructor award system. Qualifying
instructors are required to demonstrate leadership and great communication
skills during their exams. Instructors
are expected to provide a positive, memorable mountain experience, leaving the
guest entirely satisfied. This is a core
value of the CSIA/CASI.
The Canadian Ski Instructors'
Alliance (CSIA) and Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI) are
acclaimed internationally for their successful teaching methods. Four levels of certification are attainable
in each discipline, each level representing a progression of teaching skills
and knowledge. The system embraces advances in materials and equipment used by
world class athletes and relates them to the typical set-up of the recreational
skier. Instructors successfully
attaining a CSIA/CASI award will have a solid understanding of physics and
biomechanics.
Most holiday makers will choose
compassionate, friendly teaching over military style instruction. Ski schools know the value of attracting and
retaining customers, particularly in today's financial climate. Holiday makers may spend more time with an
instructor than any other staff member at a resort, therefore quality-minded
ski schools choose CSIA/CASI qualified instructors.
