Level 2 Snowboard Instructor Course
Qualifications
NONSTOP Snowboard provides the opportunity to gain CASI Level 2 (Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors) qualifications. The CASI qualifications are recognised the world over and will allow you to work at resorts around the world.
Each qualification is divided into two parts - your teaching and your snowboarding. You need to pass both parts to gain full certification. On the rare occasion that one of our seasonaires happens to miss out on one half of the qualification they can easily re-sit that element as soon as they are ready.
