Candidates -
As we discussed, the National Ski Patrol office has implemented a new protocol this year (2016) for students registering for OEC courses. Candidates are now required to take two steps: 1) Register with the National Office as an NSP member & candidate, and 2) Register with the local OEC course that you've chosen to take. Total $ for our class is still the same as published previously, it's just now in two steps.
The process for each of these are documented on the "Registration & Fees" tab above. Please have a look & follow the instructions there.
Two important notes for this process for Summer 2016:
- The NSP has recently rolled out a new IT system, and there are numerous reports that it is not working reliably at the moment (early August 2016). My suggestion here is to give the NSP registration process some time to settle out, and do this registration later in August/early September. As long as you register for our local class (Step 2 in the instructions in the tab above), your participation in class will not be affected.
- For those candidates who have already sent in checks for $240, I will hand these checks back to you on the first night of class & exchange them for a check from you for $180. So, bring your checkbook to class on the first night and we'll settle up.
We'll discuss further in class on the first night.
