How to Join & Become A Member of PSIA/AASI-W

Our organization educates and certifies ski and snowboard instructors, helping them to continually improve their snowsport instruction skills.

To become an Apprentice or Registered Member of PSIA/AASI-W you need to be at least 16 years old. You do not need to be affiliated with a snowsport school but we highly recommend you contact one of our PSIA/AASI-W Member Snowsport Schools for a position instructing, and join a Learn to be Clinic or New Hire training program.

See our Types of Membership page for a detailed explanation of the Apprentice & Registered member benefits. From this page you can register online or complete the membership form to fax or mail back to our office in Truckee, CA.

Once you have paid for your Apprentice Membership you can take education events through PSIA/AASI-W

If you become a Registered Member you can take the Level I Certification Module (if you are actively working at a snowsport school) or the Level I Certification Module for New Instructors (if you are not actively instructing at a snowsport school).
