Course Description:

Alpine Level 3 Exam Teach

Please note, this is one day of a THREE-DAY Assessment. If you would like to attend all three days, please register for the MA and Ski days as well.

Level 3 is a trade certification validating a candidate's successful communication, lesson planning and presentation abilities as they pertain to level 8 and 9 skiers on all terrain, including basic freestyle, double black bumps and variable terrain.

TEACHING ASSESSMENT: Candidates will be expected to show their ability to apply the Learning Connection - Teaching and People Skills on snow in real time with their peers from Levels 8-9. Candidates will be expected to assess, plan with, adapt to, engage with, and recognize the success of peers relevant to individual goals.

Participants must complete the Alpine Level 3 Professional Development Exam at least 72 hours prior to attending the on-snow assessment.

Suggested Reading at Level 3:

• Teaching SnowSports Manual
• Alpine Technical Manual
• Adult Alpine Teaching Handbook
