How many components are there on the Level 4 course? 
There are 3 components: Teaching, Riding, and Instructor Training (Pedagogy). The teaching and pedagogy exams consist of a 1-hour lesson or training session.

Do I keep the parts that I pass on the Level 4? 
Yes, candidates will retain the components that they pass successfully.
   
How long do I have to complete all parts of the Level 4? 
Candidates have 2 years from the date that they initially took the Level 4 course to complete the remaining components. If the certification is not completed within two years, candidates must re-take the course portion, but will continue to re-test only the components that remain uncompleted.

What are the specialization modules on the Level 4?
Candidates are required to complete either the Advanced Terrain Park/Freestyle module, or the Advanced Carving/Plate Riding module. This is to ensure a high level of technical skill and teaching understanding. These modules are completed alongside the Freeride module, which all candidates complete.

How should I prepare for the Level 4?
Successful Level 4 candidates have experiences that come from a wide variety of sources - teaching, training, practice, professional training outside of CASI, competition, etc. The options really are endless. If you're goal is the Level 4 certification, then chances are you're looking to make snowboarding your career. Track down a Level 4 (ski or snowboard) in your area or region, and ask them for advice.

Be prepared! Set up a training plan that is at least one year in length. It's likely that your path to the Level 4 could take much longer than this, but in the final year before you take the course and exams, make sure you're organized. Don't leave your preparation to the last minute!
