ISIA Stamp (via national member association)
Enrolment: ISIA does not run a central ski-school course. The **ISIA Stamp** is an international designation you become eligible for only after completing your **national ISIA member association’s** instructor pathway that meets ISIA’s minimum standard (training hours, technical and teaching exams, first aid, mountain-safety baseline, continuing education). Confirm exact prerequisites with **your** member nation—listed under National Members on isia.ski—not with ISIA HQ for course booking.
- National association pathway fees — All course and exam pricing is set by national member schools/associations, not a single ISIA shopping cart. Verified 2026-04-03 ↗
