Course Information
Who Should Take This Course?
You should take this course if you are a Level 1 instructor with a love of freestyle snowboarding. You should have a desire to introduce new students to snowboarding in the park safely and successfully. You should also be confident and comfortable both communicating and demonstrating in front of a group.
Am I Ready?
The Park Instructor Level 1 standards require you to pass both riding and teaching evaluations. In order to help you achieve success on the course, we suggest you take the following steps in preparation, if they are available to you:
- Spend time working as an instructor, honing your presentation and class management skills.
- Take a session with a current CASI Park Level 1 Evaluator to get feedback on your riding ability in relation to the technical standard.
You may also take the Park 1 course as a non-testing participant. Participate in the course and improve your teaching and riding skills without participating in the exams. Non-testing participants will not receive the Park 1 certification but at the completion of the course will receive a certificate of participation.
Pre-requisites:
- Current CASI Level 1 Instructor
- Must be fluent in either English or French
- Able to demonstrate comfortable and safe riding skills on intermediate terrain, as well as basic terrain park features.
Description:
The CASI Park Instructor certification course is open to members with a minimum Level 1 Instructor Certification. Candidates on the course will spend time exploring snowboarding technique and teaching methods as they relate to introductory terrain park and freestyle snowboarding.
The Park Instructor course is an introductory course, designed to give successful candidates the skills necessary to introduce students to the terrain park and freestyle snowboarding safely. Progression-based teaching methods, understanding of basic freestyle techniques, as well as lesson planning and effective communication skills will be addressed. Candidates will receive coaching on their snowboarding, as well as feedback on their teaching skills, with the goal of reaching the Park Instructor standard in both of these areas. They will also receive suggestions and strategies for long-term development. The successful candidate is certified to take students into freestyle terrain, and teach introductory / basic manoeuvres on beginner terrain park features.

Prep Courses
What is the Prep Course?
The prep course is 1 day of training with a CASI examiner, prior to doing the exam/course. The prep course is a great way to give yourself the best chance of passing the exam.
Should I take the Prep Course??
We advise the prep course to help give yourself the best chances of a pass. We have noticed a significant incresase in the pass rate for candidates who take the prep course before exams.
Translated Courses
3 Day Translated Courses
The Level 1 Park Translated Course requires an extra 1 day to allow us to keep the same standards and quality of instruction. As all verbal communication will be translated, this extra days allows time for the evaluators to give all students the same attention they would receive on a 2 day english course.
Who is the translator?
We ensure we use a certified CASI instructor to provide translation. This way, you can be confidfent they are familiar with the CASI method of teaching and that you will receive accurate translation.

FAQ
When should I book my travel and accomodation?
CASI courses require minimum numbers to run and while most courses do run, some do not. It is therefore very important you do not make any travel arrangements, until the course is confirmed to be happening. Simply registering for a course is not a confirmation that the course will ultimately run.
Do I need to be an instructor first, before taking the Park 1 Instructor Course?
Yes, you’ll need to be a minimum Level 1 instructor.
How good do I have to be to pass the Park Course?
The Park Instructor Level 1 course is aimed at giving you tools to take students into the park for the first time safely. You won’t be hitting the big lines, but will be focusing on basic skills on the small features, and improving your teaching skills. Check out the Park Instructor video and Course Guide for more info.
