CSIA Level 3 training at Red Mountain

With Nonstop I am going to be running training toward the CSIA Level 3 certification in March 2015:

If anyone has the Level 2 Cert and is interested, please get in touch with me.


2015 Level 3 Nonstop program

The Nonstop CSIA Level 3 training program focuses on the development of your high performance and all mountain skiing skills plus the development of your teaching competency at the advanced level. The goal of this course is to challenge and develop your skiing and teaching skills towards the CSIA Level 3 standard. With the guidance of Nonstops top Professional Trainers work towards improved performance in long and short radius, bumps, and off piste skiing in all snow conditions. A wide range of tactics will be used to develop your skiing and teaching skills including; basic skills development, skill/drill challenges, guided self discovery, video analysis, free skiing tactics, and evening technical sessions.
New for 2015 the CSIA has adopted a modular system for delivering the Level 3 course and exam, Level 3 candidates need 40 educational credits to qualify to take the course and exam. Included in the 3 week Nonstop Level 3 training program are two CSIA advanced level modules: The two day advanced teaching module and one day advanced all terrain module (these will be conducted by the CSIA).  These two modules make up the required 40 credits which will qualify you to then take the CSIA Level 3 course (3 days) followed by the CSIA level 3 exam (2days).  The CSIA course and exam are not included in this course.
The Level 3 CSIA Nonstop training camp will be offered at Red Mountain and Fernie with a maximum group size will be 6. All coaches are active Level 3 CSIA course conductors, certified to conduct and examine the  CSIA Level 3 certification.
