To register for the SouthBay OEC class, Candidates are required to take two steps: 1) Register with the National Office of the NSP and 2) Register with the local OEC course that you've chosen to take. Process for each of these steps below:
1. Register with the National Office.
Candidates must take two steps with the National Office: A) Join the National Ski Patrol, and B) Register as an OEC student. These two steps can be confusing, but the National office has created a how-to video, link here. (Yes, this is a hassle. Thanks legacy databases...).
2. Register for your local class, which in our case is OEC SouthBay. Costs & process below:
Costs (for the 2022 class):
The fees for the class are determined by fees required by the NSP National Office, the ESR Regional Office, and expenditures to hold the class & provide candidates with the necessary supplies.
NSP & OEC Fee - Fees Candidates pay to the National Office of NSP
Regional Fees $15 Equipment repair, maintenance, replacement
Medical Supplies $45 Cost of student supplies
Class Expenses $160 Reproduction, class supplies, consumables, final exam supplies
Total Fees $220
Students are also responsible to acquire the book (see instructions on "Course Materials" tab), and for the CPR course & fees if needed.
