Accredited Senior Evaluator Candidate Nomination and Preparation Process

The following process has been established to help ensure that ASE candidates are identified to meet region Senior Ski/Ride Evaluator needs and are prepared to pass the ASE Exam.

• Region directors will work with their staffs to identify any potential ASE candidates by November 1st.
• Region directors will work with their staffs to identify a region wide mentor or mentor for individual potential ASE candidates by November 1st. Mentors should be currently certified Senior Ski/Ride Evaluators with at least 3 years of experience, ideally PSIA/AASI Level 2 or Level 3. The mentors will work with the ASE candidates to prepare them for the ASE Exam. Note: An example syllabus has been made available by the division to aid in this preparation.
• Region directors will communicate their list of potential ASE candidates and mentor assignments to the division Senior Program Supervisor by November 1st. This will allow time for adequate preparation and initial planning of the ASE Exam.
• The division may offer an ASE Prep event at the Division ASDWs and/or mid-winter training events. Current year ASE candidates are encouraged to attend an ASE Prep event at a division ASDW (December). Mentors may also attend the ASE Prep event, if space is available.
• Before a potential ASE candidate is allowed to participate in the ASE Exam their mentor must attest to their readiness to participate in and pass the ASE Exam.
