SPORT

A main task of the ISIA is to promote the attractiveness and image of the entire snow sport worldwide in all markets and to support national associations in their work. The priority here is the quality of the training of snow sports instructors. The common goal of all member nations is to guarantee high quality training standards. The focus is on sport and its worldwide appeal, not politics and national demarcation. ISIA stands for innovation, cooperation and communication.

Profession

PROFESSION

Philosophy of the ISIA is among other things to consider the professional standards in the training of snow sports instructors as the common, worldwide, qualitative basis or orientation and to understand the different national prerequisites and convictions as an opportunity for the future. From the variety of the market new ideas develop, not from the foreclosure. Qualitative standards in training provide a common framework and oblige members to follow them. ISIA stands for quality, responsibility, ISIA card and ISIA stamp.

Community

COMMUNITY

One goal of the ISIA is to form the global community of professional snow sports instructors, national associations and the different markets in the future into a strong, lively community. Professional snow sports instructors are by no means replaceable service providers in the snow and contribute significantly to success in the global markets. ISIA members want to benefit from each other, to share experiences with others and contribute to common success. ISIA stands for teamwork, identification and loyalty.
