Obtaining your BASI License
There are a few essential things that need to be done to process your BASI Licence. This is split into two sections:
1. What Basecamp do for you
2. What YOU need to do
1. What Basecamp do for you:
– Provide you with BASI Level 1 and 2 Training
– Cover you for the BASI 1 and 2 Exam Fees amd provide all necessary training manuels
– Provide you with an HSC Approved First Aid Course
– Make you a BASI associate member
– Cover you for all neccessary ski/snowboard school experience
2. What YOU need to do pre and post passing your exams:
Pre Passing your Exams:
– Complete a CRB (Criminal Record Check) – Please see below for more information…
– Upload a photo your BASI member profile. Upon Basecamp registering you with BASI, they will send you your personal log in details to the member section of their website.
Post Passing your Exams:
– Complete the Safe Guarding Children Module – Please see below for more information…
– Contact the BASI Office to become a full memeber. This is a fee of £25 if done before September, thereafter it's £60. The annual membership with BASI is £60, the reason you will only have yo pay £25 before September is because Basecamp have already made you an associate member for the year of your Basecamp Course.
Once you have done all of the above BASI will post you your licence and you are then ready to start a career as a ski instructor…
