BASI Level 1 and 2 Ski Instructor
BASI Level 1 and 2 Ski Instructor - 10th Jan to 22nd Mar, 2013
10 Week Skiing Course - $ 79 950.00
Our Meribel BASI Level 1 and 2 course is aimed at our slightly older Basecampers, either choosing a career path after university or career changing fast track into the ski instructor industry. A less intensive coaching itinerary expects a higher level of skiing right from the start and deliberately leaves time for Basecampers with the option to find work or simply ski on their own time during their training.

Off the mountain
You’ll be staying in Chalet style accommodation, have an experienced Resort Manager to assist you through the course who’ll also organize social events. You’ll receive Basecamp clothing, ski gear, and also get involved in the variety of the resort events on offer.
BASI Level 1: Qualifies you to teach novice and early intermediates in a non-mountain environment, ie. the UK on artificial and indoor slopes. For plenty of people this is all you will need in terms of a qualification that you will use, for others it's just one of the required stepping stones en-route to level 2 and beyond.
BASI Level 2: For instructors that wish to work in the mountains on a part time or peak seasonal basis. BASI level 2 skiers have a competent knowledge, ability and understanding to safely teach alpine skiing up to and including parallel standard on marked pistes.
We include both qualifications in the course fee (this is not a trip extra when you are in resort!)
First Aid: As with all BASI qualification a first aid qualification is required alongside this award for it to be officially recognised and signed off by BASI. First Aid training that leads to a recognised qualification is factored in and included in the Basecamp course.

Who is this course best suited to?
This course is suited for anyone who is looking to gain all their instructor qualifications in order to work in the resort as a ski instructor. We aim Meribel more at Career Breakers than Gap Year.How good do you have to be at Skiing before the course?
On our Instructor courses we say that you have to be able to be comfortable skiing red runs before the start of the course. The BASI Level 1 will be in your third week, so you'll be getting assessed fairly quickly, but don't worry it's not a very technical exam.If you would like to head out to the resort before hand in order to have a week or two's skiing and dust off the cobwebs please speak to your course advisor, as this is something we can arrange.
By doing the course am I guaranteed a qualification?
All the qualifications are assessments, so you are not guaranteed the qualification. This course's sole focus is about getting you the Level 1 and 2 qualification, so all the training you receive gears you up for the awards; aswell as being given specific programmes to work on when you’re free-skiing.Our pass rate is extremely high.
What if I'm travelling on my own?
The majority of people will do this course as solo travellers. There is a large Basecamp community in resort, a good vibe in the chalet, and your Resort Manager will make sure you're quickly introduced to everyone.Bookings & Enquiries
