Maintaining Your Certification

You may fulfill part of your continuing-education requirements with qualifying educational events taken outside of PSIA-AASI — up to 12 CEUs every four seasons. Events are subject to approval by the executive director and the appropriate discipline chair, and a fee of $12.50 per CEU applies.

To request credit, complete the electronically fillable form below, email it to the NRM Region office, and send a check to PSIA-AASI NRM, P.O. Box 161052, Big Sky, MT 59716.

If you have been injured and are unable to take clinics during a season in which you are due credit hours, please provide the NRM Region office with medical verification, including the doctor’s signature, on your healthcare provider’s letterhead. The document must state your injury and that it prevents you from skiing or riding. Once the NRM Region office receives this document, the requirement will be waived until you are able to take an education event.

If you require an exception from the CEU policy for a non-medical reason, you may apply for Inactive Status by applying in writing to the NRM Region office. The Inactive Status policy allows members flexibility when they are temporarily unable to work toward the CEU requirement:

• Members may be inactive for a total of four years in the first inactive cycle. The cycle starts the year after the member was last active with CEUs.
• During the four-year inactive cycle, the member is required to complete 12 CEUs.
• A member may be inactive for two cycles, or a total of eight years. At that time, the member must pursue active status or choose to move to another membership category (Alumni or Registered).
• At any time during inactive status, the member can move back to active status by catching up on all CEU requirements within that four-year cycle.
• Dues must be paid during inactive status, and members receive all mailings while inactive.
• Members should not take advantage of pro forms and lift discounts during this period.

If you have questions about your status at renewal, please contact the NRM Region office.
