Southern Division | National Ski Patrol

Southern Division Certified Program

Certified is a program that demands

"... the highest level of proficiency from patrollers through training and testing and would promote a level of patrolling in which there would be no compromise with excellence in skiing, first aid, patrol management, administration and leadership."
— George Wesson [1921-2010], who developed the Certified Program for NSP and subsequently for Southern Division.

This program includes the following modules, all of which must be completed with a three-year period:

Module 1: Area Operations and Risk Management
Module 2: Avalanche Management
Module 3: Emergency Care
Module 4: Lift Evacuation and Rope Knowledge
Module 5: Skiing/Snowboarding
Module 6: Toboggan Handling
