obtain certification in New Brunswick, which is part of the Atlantic region. The snow park certification was designed for skiers and instructors with park experience who are interested in teaching others in snow park. This certification can be recognized as 10 education credits for instructors to advance to their next certification level. Since the pedagogical material seen in the snow park certification course is similar to that in the Level 1 course, snow park instructors can be admitted to the Level 2 training course without holding a Level 1 certification. The second level of certification, Level 2, is accessible to all current Level 1 ski instructors who have paid their membership dues to the CSIA, as well as members of provincial partner organizations, such as the PESQ in Quebec or OT3 in Ontario, who wish to pursue their training with the CSIA for national recognition of certification. They must complete a two-day training camp, obtain 10 CSIA education credits, and pass the two-day Level 2 teaching and skiing examinations. Level 3, is considered a senior certification. Apart from more extensive training and examinations, a total of 40 education credits are needed in order to obtain this certification. Many instructors typically train for several years before attending the certification course. It is worthy to note that the 10 education credits required to obtain the Level 2 certification, as well as the 40 education credits required for the Level 3 certification, can be accumulated over the years by participating in skiing or teaching professional development programs organized by the CSIA, completing modules addressing a particular skiing or teaching subject (e.g., teaching children), or obtaining an entry-level certification with a partner industry organization, including the Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI), the Canadian Ski Coaches Federation (CSCF), the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing (CADS), the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors (CANSI), the Canadian Ski Guide Association (CSGA), or the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association (CFSA). Instructors who are members of multiple partner organizations can only obtain the 10 education credits once as the offer is non-cumulative. This fourth and final level of certification, Level 4, can only be delivered by senior course conductors and evaluators, who themselves hold a Level 4 certification. Training and certification programs are also available for senior instructors (Levels 3 & 4) who wish to partake in the delivery of CSIA certification courses as course conductors and evaluators.
