BASI

BASI is the nationally and internationally recognised UK body for training and examining British Snowsport Instructors. 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.

There are 3 levels of BASI qualifications. The initial Instructor level allows you to teach in the UK, on dry slopes and in certain other countries on snow (e.g. Scandinavia, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). New Generation deliver all the required BASI courses to pass the Instructor Level. Our Gap courses include all the BASI courses for the Instructor Level. You can join us on our BASI Trainee Instructor (5 days) and our BASI Instructor Training Courses (10 days). We run these courses throughout the season, please see dates for details.

The second level, ISIA, is recognised by the International Ski Instructors Association (ISIA). Many more countries accept this qualification. New Generation deliver training towards BASI ISIA Level courses. Many instructors decide to spend a winter in a ski resort to reach the ISIA level. Our ISIA training course is an excellent way to reach this goal.

The International Ski Teacher Diploma (ISTD) is the highest BASI qualification and is accepted worldwide. New Generation run various ISTD training courses towards the ISTD BASI modules: Technical, Teaching, Euro Speed Test and the European Mountain Safety.
