CHILDREN’S SPECIALIST
In addition to passing certification exams, PSIA-AASI also offers Specialists Certificates. These Specialists Certificates are not limited to one discipline, and all disciplines are encouraged to participate. The Children’s Specialist exams help instructors focus on teaching our younger students, who make up a large part of our business. The content focuses on teaching techniques, drills for children, and child development. CS1 consists of a 2-day clinic/exam on the snow, and CS2 consists of a 3-day exam. For more information, helpful videos, and reference materials, visit the PSIA/AASI-I website.
PCSSBS In House Children’s Specialist Training will be offered primarily on Fridays throughout the season.
