tryna understand the process from their website but i've never found NCCP to make their courses easy to understand.

currently a ski instructor w/ the canadian ski instructors alliance, want to start teaching freestyle, but the CSIA course encourages side-jumping and miss me with that jerry shit

the freestyle canada website says theres a bunch of modules i need to take and some are online but im not able to find 1. descriptions for each module 2. skill requirements etc 3. anywhere to actually sign up.

can anyone explain, or does anyone have a link, to the basic process for getting a freestyle coaching certification?
 
Don't know about Canada, in the US it's just through PSIA. Ask your mountain's training manager, they should know that kind of stuff.
 
I'm a freestyle di coach at my home mountain and it's pretty simple. Keep in mind this is just what I had to do , idk if its different for u to smthing.

First, go into the locker.com and complete the concussions in freestyle skiing, it should be on online courses part. Next I signed up for a making Ethical Decisions course and then completed the evaluation on the locker.com. Finally, through fso( Freestyle skiing ontario) I signed of for a fundamentals of freestyle course. Idk if this is the same for you, these were just the requirements for my job in Ontario

You have to beat TJ Schiller in a maple syrup chugging contest and a moose back race then you get certified.

and you have to pregame by eating a bunch of wild harvested mushrooms with B-dog for the modern canadian culture
 
csia park one isn't that bad from what I've heard. it's the one day park 'clinic' that's the bullshit part
 
actually i think its 3 days

you literally just have to pay 380 dollars to teach 3s, 1s, sw 1s, and rails (no spins on or off lol)

and this is the top park cert i think is offered thanks csia

yeah the 3 day course is much less bullshit than the 1 day clinic. also u gotta air out of a pipe and *gasp* maybe do the sloppiest front 2 of all time
 
The club coach certification for CFSA, which is the first 'level' is pretty similar to the CSIA park course in terms of what you are authorized to teach. In fact, it's less about teaching people park skills and more about ongoing skier development. It encompasses moguls and pipe skills almost as much as slopestyle.. As a club coach, you would be teaching children how to get air, slide boxes and ski moguls for the first time. You can get other various certs at a trampoline facility for teaching inverts and stuff. Also you have to take a module on concussion management (obviously important regardless).

here's a pdf with the requirements, etc.
