Raising the Bar: APSI’s Early Season Exams Boost Instructor Excellence

Australian Professional Snowsports Instructors
A Milestone Moment in Instructor Development

The Australian Professional Snowsports Instructors (APSI) kicked off the winter season with a major success, hosting its early season Level 2, 3, and 4 Alpine and Snowboard exams. Held at Perisher, the exams marked a strategic shift in supporting Australia’s snow industry—opening the door not just for resits, but also for first-time candidates seeking higher-level certifications. This initiative enhances the quality and readiness of instructors across the country right before the busy winter peak.

New Opportunities, New Standards

Traditionally reserved for those needing to complete or retake components of past exams, this year’s early session welcomed new Level 2 and Level 3 candidates, broadening the pathway to advancement. This change reflects a growing demand for certified, experienced instructors and a commitment to strengthening Australia’s snow resorts with skilled professionals ahead of peak season.

Perisher Steps Up During a Busy Season

Perisher once again proved to be a reliable partner, hosting the exams during a particularly intense period that also included Interschools competitions. The smooth execution of exams during such a demanding week speaks to the cooperation and dedication between the APSI and one of Australia’s premier alpine resorts.

Nationwide Participation and Growing Momentum

Nearly 100 instructors from all corners of the country participated in the early season Level 2 and above exams across both Alpine and Snowboard disciplines. Their enthusiasm and dedication reflect the strong professional culture in Australia’s snowsports industry. This follows the June certification of 266 new Level 1 instructors, showing clear momentum and a healthy growth trajectory for the industry.

Shaping the Future of Snowsports Instruction

By offering structured and accessible accreditation pathways, APSI plays a vital role in ensuring the continued development of high-quality instruction across Australian resorts. These efforts not only benefit instructors but also elevate the overall guest experience on the mountain. The continued success of these programs is a win for the entire snowsports community—from learners to lifelong professionals.
