Off the mountain
You’ll be staying in centrally located appartments, have a Resort Manager to assist you through the course who’ll also organise parties and social events. We’ll head over to Tignes to watch the X-Games, and build in trips to other resorts. You’ll receive Basecamp clothing, snowboard 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, i.e. 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 snowboarding up to and including linked turns on marked pistes.
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 with the aim of returning season after season as a qualified instructor.
I want to dominate the piste, but don’t see myself being an instructor in the long term, is this course right for me?
All of the training on this course is focused on becoming a Level 1 and Level 2 BASI Instructor, which are great qualifications to get and a great way to get into the industry. However if you don’t see yourself ever working as an instructor our All Mountain Courses may be better suited, as we don’t recommend people take the qualifications if you don’t think you’ll use them as they are fairly expensive and with the coaching being focused soley on the qualifications you don’t receive as much performance coaching.
How good do you have to be at Snowboarding before the course?
On our Instructor courses we say that you have to be able to be comfortable snowboarding 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 riding 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-riding.The BASI Level 2 is a very achievable award, and the progamme is designed to walk you through it, however it does require a level of commitment from you and you need to be prepared to focus hard on achieving the qualification. Our pass rate is 85%.
How do I get my BASI Licence?
Baseamp provide you with 140 hours of training, your Level 1 and 2 exam, first aid course, CRB check and make you an associate memeber of BASI. Having done these you will need to complete the Safeguarding Children Module on the BASI website for a cost of £25 and then call the BASI office and pay £20 to become a full BASI Memeber and get yor licence.
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
