Last spring I encouraged my teenage son to become PSIA Level 1 ski instructor certified. He has been teaching for a few years and I thought it would look good for college etc.
Almost none of his friends did it because of the the (unpaid) time and expense of the course and the PSIA membership. The very small raise you got for being level 1 would never cover the course and membership dues.
So my question is for those of you working ski schools around the USA: Does that level 1 help him get a job at a random ski area? Does anyone even care you have level 1? My son said the class was a joke, but he's a teen boy so everything is a joke.
I received the membership renewal card today and not sure if it's worth even renewing.
When he took the level 1 there were plenty of people taking the classes and most around here (northeast) were full.
