29/09/07 - Snowsport Scotland – BASI negotiation

Snowsport Scotland has given due consideration to a proposal that BASI becomes the delivery agent, through Snowsport Scotland, for all coaching, instructing and leading courses previously offered by us, the governing body.

BASI’s final proposal has changed from the initial understanding whereby we, Snowsport Scotland, retained the governance of our snowsport qualifications to one where BASI controls quality assurance, course content, tutor selection, pricing policy and the ability to develop any new awards.

In the interests of our members, and as the governing body for snowsports in Scotland, the Board has voted unanimously not to enter into an agreement with BASI. This decision was based upon a loss of governance of the awards and a failure to meet the needs of our members in the BASI offering.

In partnership with Snowsport England and Snowsport Wales, Snowsport Scotland will continue now and in the future to provide coaching, leading and instructing qualifications to meet the needs of snowsports participants.

Please see further announcements for course details and plans for future course development.
