What It Takes

PSIA-AASI certification is professional credentialing for snowsports instructors. Your journey begins with free educational coursework, culminates in an on-snow exam, and continues with ongoing education once you earn your Level 1.

Testimonials

    “I was a fast-footed rider with little teaching experience when I joined PSIA-AASI. Moving up into the snowboard school seemed to be the thing to do. I quickly found out at my Level I exam that I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. Luckily my examiner ripped! We rode a lot, but he coached us on teaching and how to become a better instructor. That’s when I found my direction in our industry. Since then, PSIA-AASI has opened many doors for me — as a supervisor, manager, school director, as well as with managing parks and consulting for resorts on park layouts and builds. PSIA-AASI can open more doors than you can even dream of. You will learn so much about this sport, get better at it, and, if you really want it, this organization can help you find a full-time career in this industry.”

    Tommy Morsch, Former PSIA-AASI Snowboard Team Member

    “PSIA-AASI has given me so much that has translated to my ‘regular life.’ I can’t think of another professional organization that blends so much opportunity, good times, and benefits for its members. For new members: you get out what you put in.”

    Shannon Rucker: Alpine Level II, Snowboard Level I, Children’s Specialist 2, Freestyle Specialist 1. Liberty Mountain, PA

    “I did try working in an office and decided that wasn’t for me, so I guess that was the first step (realizing what I didn’t want). I’ve branched out into different industries: ski instruction and coaching in the winter and outdoor guide and trip designer in the summer months. Living in Steamboat Springs, CO, I’m surrounded by people who follow their passions to live the lifestyle they want. This environment and support has made it easier to make my career happen.”

    EMILY LOVETT, FORMER PSIA-AASI CROSS COUNTRY TEAM MEMBER AND COACH
