CASI is the oldest snowboard teaching organisation in North America, founded in 1994,[1] three years before the [2] founding of AASI. Headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario, CASI is organised into six regions in Canada.
CASI runs teaching courses and certifies instructors in Canada, Japan, South Korea and Andorra.[3]
Organisation
CASI is organised into six regions: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba/Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic. CASI has a Technical and Evaluation Committee that considers course content and technical principles.[1]
Membership
To become a member of CASI, it is necessary to pass an instructor certification course.[1] CASI offers four levels of instructor certification and an additional freestyle certification.[4] Instructors are evaluated on technical skills and teaching skills.[5]
The CASI level 1 course is recognized as credit for graduation in the Canadian province of British Columbia[6].
