CSIA Level 3

I am certified with another system — can I enter CSIA Level 2 or above directly?
Yes, but you need to apply for an assessment in advance. Email CSIA head office in English at national@snowpro.com to request an Equivalency assessment, which grants you Affiliate Member status. State what you need in the email and attach your existing certificates and contact details. Processing takes about 10 to 15 working days, so make sure you apply well before the registration deadline.

CSIA Certification — shared

These apply across CSIA Certification.

Is Pinnacle’s training the same thing as the official CSIA certification course?
Pinnacle runs its own CSIA-focused exam preparation training, and separately hosts the official CSIA certification courses in the Niseko region of Japan.
Does the training guarantee a pass?
The exam is assessed by CSIA, and the result depends on your performance on the day.
How do I prepare for the CSIA exam? Is there official material I can study?
Download and read through the CSIA Candidate Guide (Level 1 / Level 2 / Level 3) to familiarise yourself with the course and exam content. You can also book a preparation clinic or private sessions, or contact us and we will put together a preparation plan for you.
