    The board of IASI are delighted to announce that, with BASS Chamonix, they have entered into the first “Licensed Course Provider” contract for season 09/10. This is a new and exciting development for IASI. This will help us endeavor to grow both the organisation and our profile in Europe.

    As a Licensed Course Provider, BASS Chamonix (operated by Derek & Shona Tate) will run two IASI certified courses on snow independently to the IASI course calendar. These courses, a Level 1 & Level 2, will take place in April 2010. The courses are primarily aimed at members living in the Alps and wish to gain recognised instructor qualifications. All details of the courses can be found by clicking here http://www.paralleldreams.co.uk/ireland/homeie.htm

    IASI continue to investigate Licensed Course Provider opportunities to provide additional training and certification options for our skiing and snowboarding members.

    Hi IASI,

    Just a quick question, is it true that IASI have higher course standards than say New Zealand or Canada when it comes to the levels etc for Skiing because of the fact that IASI are Irish ?

    Hi there,

    thanks for the question. Amn't really sure how to answer to be honest! We have high standards of training and assessment yes however as per other discussion posts here the world of standards internationally varies. In a European context our awards are well recognised and respected.

    Having previously gone through most of the IASI level one course in Kilternan except for the exam weekend, but by then I had already booked to come to New Zealand, and now also completed the NZSIA level one I have a very basic idea of the standards of the two courses.

    They are mostly not very different at all though, they are both trying to get you to teach the same skills to the same type of people. There are some minor differences in terminology they like you to use, although that may have just been the NZSIA trainer that I have being a bit anal. For me personally, I was very glad to have already have had a taste of what was required from doing the IASI courses first and it didn't do me any harm at all when it came to doing the NZSIA system.
