NSP-PSIA Cross-over Policy

That PSIA-E invites interested current National Ski Patrol certified trainers in good standing to join AASI/PSIA-E with considerations given for NSP levels of certification.

In order to avail himself of this opportunity, the NSP certified trainer must pay PSIA Registered member dues ($91) to become eligible. Proof of current NSP membership must also be supplied at the time of application.  The crossover is as follows:
