Snowsport Scotland is the awarding body for all UK Snowsport qualifications (UKSS) in Scotland and offers a full range of courses that will train, assess and license you to become a fully qualified instructor, performance coach or leader.
The purpose of this 1-day UKSS Mountain Induction training course is to take candidates with UK Snowsport artificial ski or snowboard instructor or coaching qualifications (or equivalent) and train and equip them with the necessary skills to operate safely within the remit of their award at Scottish mountain ski resorts.
In order to attend the course you must be aged 16 years old at the date of the course, hold a current Snowsport Scotland instructor/coach/leader membership and hold licensed or trained* status for one of the following listed qualifications.
UK Snowsport Foundation Instructor (Ski or Snowboard) - UK Snowsport Instructor (Ski or Snowboard) - UK Snowsport Foundation Performance Coach (Alpine or P+P) - An accepted equivalent from an alternative awarding body (For example, IASI or BASI).
* If candidates hold only trained status then they must continue to operate with the remit of that status – which dictates a role of only assisting licensed and qualified staff under direct supervision.
Will definitely spread the word about the International Snowsport School’s magical powers...
For the first time I could feel the difference in my skiing and that I was making progress, and I understood exactly what I needed to do.
I cannot really explain in words what the The Leadership High™ meant to me. The quality of the attendees, coaches, content, discussions, skiing and ski instructors was second to none.
Duncan’s enthusiasm and encouragement gave me the confidence to challenge myself and to believe that I could achieve my goals
Excellent training and valuable insight between my BASI level 1 and 2 which got me to the level...
