You must have at least a season's boot fitting experience between the 101/201/301 courses. We need a written confirmation of this by a shop manager/owner; unless there are exceptional circumstances. ie fast trackers with the relevant experience.

Please state and interest by contacting us, with your location, so that we can organise training locations for Level 101, as close as possible to the demand. We have to run 201 and 301 courses in our specialist boot labs due to the content of the course, which requires appropriate facilities. (Apart from bespoke courses where a retailer has a suitable boot lab on their premises available)

  
Anything Technical and Boot Camp
Both these training companies are affiliated with BSBA for their boot fitting courses. If you have attended an Anything Technical or Boot camp course, you gain exemption from Skibootpro 101 once you join BSBA for £35, in fact we will issue with a BSBA level 101 certificate and membership card. You are also eligible to do 201 courses as long as you have, at least,  a season's (200+ fits) boot fitting experience.

Masterfit University
BSBA recognise the Masterfit University courses. If you have completed their Boot fitting course we award you BSBA level 201 when you join the BSBA. This enables you to sign up for 301, however you still must have 4 years/seasons minimum boot fitting experience to enroll.

Course Bookings
Contact us for a membership/booking form. Payment can be taken by paypal, simply log-in and pay euan@skibootpro.co.uk, or we can supply BACS information

Mentoring programme
We will provide individual mentors for boot fitters who would like "after-course mentoring in the form of e-mail/phone back-up and support. They can help you in tricky boot fitting situations and questions relating to boot fitting. This runs monthly and has a monthly subscription fee of £10 per person.

Experienced ski boot fitters
 Those boot fitters with over 5 years/seasons boot fitting experience that would like to join BSBA (as a Full member) but feel that they are at level 201 already, should contact us to be considered for exemptions. You will have to provide proof of boot fitting experience, have a strong knowledge of the 101-201 syllabus and have skills in footbed and boot customisation. We will evaluate people on an individual basis and will have an online assessment exam for those that we feel you are at the standard required. The exam will cost £30. Successful candidates will obtain Level 201 and be able to take the 301 course.
Update: April 2012.
The EBF option has now concluded therefore anyone wanting to attend a 301 course must have completed the 201 course.
