Alpine Ski Leaders Course

Ever thought about gaining a qualification to lead groups of skiers around the mountain? Then this could be the right award for you. Widely recognised throughout the UK as the most appropriate award for skiers taking sole charge of groups, often children, in the mountain environment, and is very popular with teachers and youth workers. This award covers a range of responsibilities including planning, organising, supervising, leading and instructing.

What does the ASL allow me to do?

The award offers the opportunity to gain technical competence in leading skiers within the bounds of a ski resort in a mountain environment at home or abroad. It does not provide a professional instruction qualification and does not permit a Ski Leader to take their group off piste. The award is limited to those travelling and working with their own groups and would be invalid in any other circumstances.
