Additional Notes:

Skipping Level 1 Certification and going directly to Level 2 Certification Process

Achieving XC level 1 Certification is always highly recommended for anyone pursuing higher certification because the candidate will be more familiar with PSIA XC teaching methodologies and will have a greater chance at success in the higher certification process. However, to accommodate those rare instances where a XC Instructor has a wealth of experience and knowledge specific to teaching and performing in another sport/discipline and wants to go directly to higher certification, the following guidelines have been established:

• A current membership in PSIA
• PSIA Level 2 Certification in another snowsports discipline OR have a minimum of 100 hours XC Ski teaching or coaching experience (must submit coaching hours to PSIA-RM office)
• Pass a telephone interview with XC Chairperson
• Complete all XC Level 2 prerequisites before attending a Level 2 assessment.
• *If you do not pass at the level 2 certification level, you will not be given a level 1 certification.
