Take Two Part Two - Over and Out

  Zermatt, August 2020  PDS Academy Our BASI trainer and examiner for the Alpine Level 2 resit was the same trainer as the week before on the Alpine Level 2 Performance; James Bennett. When not working for BASI, James is one of the directors at PDS Academy in Morzine.      PDS Academy is a British Ski and Snowboard School founded in the Portes du Soleil and now operating in the 3 Valleys + Espace Killy including Sainte Foy. Ever seeking gaps in the market, James and Craig started off by establishing JJC Training nearly 10 years ago, with the specific aim to create tailored programmes to help instructors pass their instructor qualifications.

There are a couple of BASI trainers and examiners who I've always wanted to ski with. One of them was James Bennett ! James Bennett Like most BASI Trainers and Examiners James started skiing as a child. From London James (or Bennett, as he's known) got into skiing at his local slope, Bromley Dry Ski Centre. He has been a member of two British Ski Teams, in both Alpine and Telemark ...

Ski instructor training There are several routes you can take to become a ski instructor. For example, you can qualify through the Irish system, Canadian system, British system, on an internship program or as stand alone elements. There is no right or wrong way, it’s what suits you. I chose the British system with the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI). BASI Unable to do an internship program due to my job as an NHS nurse I opted to complete my BASI training in stand alone elements and enrolled on the starting level course; Alpine Level 1. My time with BASI was to be beset by problems. The stand alone elements needed for a BASI Alpine Level 1 are: Level 1 training Children’s Safeguarding First Aid 35 hours snowsports school shadowing Disclosure and barring clearance Due to my NHS job I already met most of these elements leaving me just needing Alpine Level 1 training and 35 hours snowsports school shadowing. Earlier in the summer I had enrol...
