Snowboard instructor question!

Hi 
I am looking at becoming a part-time snowboard instructor so I can help at Dry slopes and Snow-domes in the UK mainly. 

It looks like most require a BASI qualification though - Can you tell me a little more about what you do differently and similar to BASI?

I've bought your book and DVD and like the way you teach it so would be interested in some of your courses as well later down the line. 

Thanks Rob



Hi Rob,

BASI specialise in teaching people how to teach snowboarding and provide qualifications in doing this.

I specialise in teaching people how to be better snowboarders, how to understand Snowboarding and how to ride the mountains natural terrain.

The techniques I teach follow the same rules as the techniques taught on BASI courses as I initially worked for BASI developing their courses but I now concentrate on developing each individuals performance were as a BASI course concentrates on teaching progressions, teaching you how to teach the basics of Snowboarding.

If you want to be a Snowboard instructor you will definitely need to follow the BASI system. (this will allow you to work in the UK but unfortunately not in the rest of Europe.)

If you want to be a better Snowboarder then out of my courses you'd need to attend the Tech clinic.

Hope this helps and good luck with your progression.

Neil.
