Whether you are taking a career break or a GAP year or looking to start your career in the outdoors there is a BASI course suitable for you. If you are choosing a ski school make sure you ask for a BASI qualified instructor and look for the BASI Approved Ski School Accreditation Kitemark. BASI Instructors must maintain a valid teaching Licence by completing Refresher courses and they also hold valid first aid certificates. BASI members carry a personal photo ID Instructor licence that is re-issued every year.
