RecentlyCSIA has released the scoring criteria for the Level 1-3 Instructor Ground School Exam.The CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance) coaches are divided into four levels, with Level 4 being the highest. They provide instruction tailored to beginners, intermediate skiers, advanced skiers, and expert-level skiers.
Levels 1–2:
Each level—A is Level 1, and C is Level 2—is assessed based on a non-competitive scoring system. The exam focuses primarily on demonstrating beginner-level techniques (such as the axel turn with plow and half-plow), showcasing intermediate parallel turns on the blue run (Level 1) or black run (Levels 1 and 2), and testing fundamental skills in basic short turns (Level 2).
Level 3 (Advanced Coach):
Including intermediate parallel, mogul scoring, advanced slalom, and advanced parallel—all completed on the black run.
The video ratings range from 4.5 to 8.0, where6 points is the passing score,8 out of 10 is an excellent score.(Above the Level 3 standard). Four requirements must pass three of them, with intermediate parallel and snow pack mandatory to clear.
