Instructor Training

Come and train for your CASI levels and teach what you love, all over the world.

Pro Ride offers Snowboard Instructor Training by top CASI (Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors) evaluators to prepare you for your CASI levels 1,2,3 and Park Instructor levels 1 and 2.

Our Instructor Training Programs teach you all the riding and teaching skills you will require to successfully complete your CASI level 1 certification. We will fine tune your riding and bring you step-by-step through the beginner progression. The level 1 qualifies you to teach beginner to intermediate lessons. 

Once you have completed the Level 1 snowboard instructor course, the next step in the progression is the CASI Level 2 certification. This certification allows you to teach intermediate to advanced riders. We recommend a further six to eight weeks of training. Here you will develop your advanced riding skills, and learn how to analyze and improve your students, using a skill-based teaching strategy.

If freestyle is more your thing, you can train for the CASI park instructor certification. In this course you will learn basic freestyle skills, and how to teach introductory freestyle lessons. The CASI level 1 is a prerequisite. 

When you come to train with Pro Ride you have the flexibility to choose how long you would like to train for as well as how you would like to combine your instructor training. You have the opportunity to spend either more time riding freestyle or more time freeriding. It is up to you (read more on Programs). We offer preperation for all Levels of CASI certification. For CASI level 4 and Park Instructor level 2 you will need to contact us directly.

Ability Level

To successfully complete a four week Level 1instructor training course you should have 40+ days of riding experience. However, if you have fewer days' riding experience do not despair as we can still prepare you for the certifications. It is best to speak with us directly so that we can determine your ability level and recommend the best option for you personally. No matter your level, we can help you achieve your goals.

"If it weren't for the expert level of tuition and constant feedback on my progress at the 12 week camp I attended, then there is no way (in my opinion) I would of attained both my level 1 and 2 CASI certifications. I am very grateful to Pro Ride."
