PREREQUISITES

EVENT FEEDBACK

2ND LANGUAGE LEARNERS

Skiing and riding are international sports and our industry benefits immensely from instructors with dual-language skills. Currently, The PSIA-AASI assessments do require mastery of highly technical English language and the capacity to support engaging two-way communication. We are exploring appropriate language accommodations in our assessment criteria and exam formatting. In the meantime, dual-language speakers are welcome to bring a translator to any PSIA-AASI Western Exam or Event.

Translators must be able to safely ski or ride alongside the exam or event.

Translators must have their own gear and lift ticket.

Translators may not also be exam candidates or event participants.

You must provide a minimum of two-weeks’ notice if you intend to have a translator support you at an event or exam. Please email the region to discuss bringing a translator to your event.

ADA ACCOMMODATIONS

Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) Policy

Notice to candidates:

PSIA-AASI is committed to providing access to those persons with disabilities during the clinic and examination process. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. Various states may have broader definitions.

If you feel you have such a disability and seek a reasonable accommodation during the testing process we need to know this well before the examination so we can work together to create, if possible, the accommodation which will allow you to take the exam under conditions that maintain safety for all involved.

If you seek an accommodation, please contact us in writing (info@psia-w.org) four weeks before the clinic or examination (or as soon as the need for the accommodation is apparent), to notify the region of your request for an accommodation.

PSIA-AASI may seek medical or other guidance to address the most appropriate accommodation and to assess the need and type of accommodation requested. If this is applicable to you, please be prepared with that information.

Please Note:

The association is not required to provide a reasonable accommodation if doing so will be an undue hard- ship, or compromises the safety of anyone involved in the examination process. Undue hardship means significant difficulty or expense, significant disruption of the association, or a change to the basic nature of the fundamental skills being tested.

If the person with a disability asks for a reasonable accommodation that is an undue hardship for your association, or compromises safety, the association will determine if there is another accommodation that is less burdensome, more safe, and/or less expensive.
