TRAINER'S COORDINATION
Trainer's Coordination is an annual event scheduled at the start of the season for all members who will be conducting in-house training within their snowsports school.
Trainer's Coordination will provide important information on curriculum changes, course and exam updates, training strategies and focuses based on the previous year's candidate participation and performances. In-house trainers who will be conducting any training that will count towards the accrual of a candidate's in-house training hours, will be required to attend Trainers Coordination each year.
KEY DATES
To increase accessibility to this important event in 2026, APSI will be operating three Trainer's Coordination events - a 'Main' event, and two 'Satellite' events (Alpine & Snowboard only). In-house trainers who will be conducting any APSI recognised in-house training for their resort, must attend one of these events.
