The British Association of Snowsport Instructors (BASI) is recognised worldwide as a provider of the highest quality professional Snowsport Teachers. The BASI qualifications give instructors the opportunity to gain employment throughout the world including the thriving snowsport markets in the European Alps and North America.
New Generation employs a number of BASI coaches and trainers throughout our 7 resorts. BASI have licensed New Generation as the BASI European Business Partner in Les Trois Vallees, France.
New Generation's BASI courses are delivered by our own BASI Trainers who have been specially selected for their skills, knowledge, experience and teaching ability. All BASI Trainers are qualified to the highest International level with the ISTD (International Ski Teacher Diploma) and the ISIA (International Ski Instructor's Association) qualifications.
