Interested in becoming a ski or snowboard instructor? We offer a clear pathway to help you build skills, gain experience, and prepare for certification.

1. Apprenticeship (Shadowing Program)

A perfect starting point for anyone who wants to experience teaching before committing to a certification course.

Uncertified instructors can:

• Shadow real lessons

• Assist our certified staff

• Build practical teaching experience

• See what the role is like in a low-pressure environment

This is ideal if you're unsure about taking your Level 1 course or simply want more time on snow in a teaching setting.

2. Level 1 Certification Pathway

We support both CASI (snowboard) and CSIA (ski) Level 1 certification.

A. Official Level 1 Courses (CASI/CSIA)

Register directly through CASI or CSIA for upcoming certification courses hosted around the region.

B. Pre-Course Training With Our Evaluators

We have CASI and CSIA Level 1 Evaluators on staff.
Book a pre-course session to:

• Review Level 1 exam standards

• Get personalized coaching

• Practice required riding/skiing maneuvers

• Learn teaching fundamentals

• Build confidence before exam day

These prep sessions are booked like a private lesson — but fully tailored to Level 1 success.

Want Hart to Host a Level 1 Course?

If we have 4 or more interested candidates, we can request CASI or CSIA to run a Level 1 course specifically at Hart Snow School.

This is why joining the Instructor Training Interest List is so important.
