Overview
RIDE, RIDE, RIDE... This three-week long Level Three Instructor Training Camp is focused purely on riding! If you only want to progress your riding to the Level Three standard and aren't interested in the teaching aspect of Level Three, this is 100% the one for you.
CAMP3 brings together some of the most experienced trainers from each of these countries (USA, UK and NZ) under one roof, to help you benefit from a wide variety of approaches to high-end riding. While the SBINZ, AASI and BASI systems have some subtle differences that EVERY advanced rider can benefit from, the fundamentals are very similar, allowing to develop well-rounded, expert level techniques and tactics, that will supercharge your riding.
You can even use this camp to prepare for the riding part of the Level Three assessment in SBINZ, AASI and BASI. Come and ride with some the most experienced Level Three Examiners in the world and fast track your training!
All camps need a minimum of four people per group to run, with a maximum six per group.
Coaches: A variety of top Level Three Examiners will be training on this camp, including Rhys Jones, Richie Johnston, Tony Macri and Keith Stubbs.
Ability Levels
This camp is specifically for Level Two Certified instructors in SBINZ, AASI or BASI (i.e. advanced riders). Read about our five-stage ability level here.
Opportunities exist to attend the riding elements of the SBINZ and AASI Level Three certifications. The cost of the SBINZ Level Three ride workshop and exam are all clearly stated on the SBINZ website. The cost of the AASI Level Three exam will depend on number of candidates.
For SBINZ certified instructors, it is helpful to have attended the SBINZ Level Three Ride Workshop prior to this camp, but not essential. Workshop dates can be booked direct with SBINZ here.
For AASI instructors, opportunities will be created during the camp to fulfil your CEU requirements, ensuring you have enough credits to join the AASI Level Three ride exam. We also have the ability to run an AASI FS1 (Freestyle Specialist L1).
For CASI Level Two instructors, we strongly recommend you join our Bridge the Gap Camp before considering this Level Three Training Camp. SBINZ does not recognise CASI Level Two as a suitable pre-requisite for the SBINZ Level Three. Read more about pre-requisites with SBINZ here.
Please state your certification level and system for the Level Three focus in the comments box below when booking.
