Introduction
This is the entry level course for students who wish to join the BASI Education System. The qualification is for those wishing to find employment in a non-mountain environment, i.e. Dry Slopes and Indoor snow slopes. It is also the 1st stage of the BASI Alpine Instructor Training Course.
Working with your Level 1 qualification
Although your Level 1 qualification is only the first stage of the BASI system you can actually start your working career. All Level 1′s can work on UK dry / indoor slopes once they have also achieved the following:
1. First Aid Certificate
2. Child Protection Module
3. 35 hours of ski school experience
Please note the above information is the current status but it is always worth checking with BASI as the ball park does tend to move now and again.

Ski Buying Guide
We often get asked to recommend skis for the course, which can be tricky as it often down to individual taste. However, we do provide an equipment guide to students who are joining our gap courses, which is a good introduction to what’s out there. Have a look here.
