As you know, you need to register for both the course (via Eventbrite) AND the National office (instructions & overview video on the "Registration" tab above).
This is always a confusing process, particularly the National Office registration. So, some tips in doing so:
Candidates:
If you have a ski area identified & they have accepted you as a candidate, register as a "Candidate". Instructions here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19UbEJmsIcSwNzNXJcwPqhp2L_qLJyP7l/view?usp=sharing
Associates:
If you have not yet been accepted into a ski area's program, register as an "Associate". Instructions here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c3pfCJId0CwU6RgTFrOGC-tgFNIExrnr/view?usp=sharing
Terminology:
Just to add to the confusion, all students in OEC classes are called "Candidates". This applies if you're a candidate, associate, etc. per the above definitions.
Timing:
Before you register with the National Office, see this note from Nancy Stromswold from the ESR BoD:
*New candidates who register and pay NSP dues after July 1, 2019 will have dues posted on their profile through 12-31-2020 (last 1/2 of 2019 and all of 2020.) If a new member pays their NSP dues before July 1, 2019, dues will be posted through 12-31-2019.
*Current and new members must have current NSP dues paid to [get credit for courses they take]
