equivalency crossover

We’re excited you’re considering joining the PSIC family! Whether you’re coming from another alpine ski teaching organization in Canada or abroad, we’re here to make your transition smooth, inspiring, and fun.

At the PSIC, we believe in more than just certifying instructors — we invite you into a complete ecosystem built around our purpose: creating lifelong passionate skiers through the expert delivery of mountain experiences. Joining our certification pathway means stepping into a world shaped by The Method and The Adventure — our unique approach to ski education, development, and the skier experience.
 

If you’re coming in with an existing alpine certification, our equivalency crossover "map" shows how we recognize your credentials so you can enter the PSIC pathway at the right level. But here’s the important part: to thrive here, you’ll need to immerse yourself in our concepts, philosophy, and language. That means completing our digital learning pre-course, exploring our training materials, and understanding our Fun–Safe–Learning philosophy before your first course. If your recognition allows you to head straight into an Evaluation course, it’s essential you’ve done this prep to set yourself up for success.

 

Equivalency crossover means you can access training at the level granted — it does not grant you the PSIC certification of the level you currently hold. It’s a mechanism to enter the PSIC pathway at the right point in your development.
