Children’s Specialist and Adaptive Prep Clinics

Do you want to be certain that you are on the right track for your Children's or Adaptive assessment? We are offering new prep clinics for candidates who are looking for extra assessment preparation and for those who don’t have CS or adaptive training options at their home resort. The CS 1 prep clinic is online while the Adaptive L1 prep is on snow. Both will give you the boost you need for studying.

Coming soon - monthly alpine assessment and DECL tryout preparation webinars. Check the calendar in January.
