CSIA Courses in Andorra

Please use the Course Infomation links below as a guide only. The information has been extracted from the CSIA website and relates to the 6 day course structure in Canada. In Andorra, although the Goals and Content amount to the same, there are differences to the Course Outline and Schedule.

New Education Credits - We will cover enough modules for everyone to achieve the required Educational Credits on the new 6 day Level 3 Course.   For those who feel they need the extra training, then the Extended Course option will apply and again the modules offered on the Extended Courses in Andorra will cover the required Educational Credits (plus some extra modules depending on candidate progress).

The Level 3 Exam remains unchanged.  It is compulsory to sit the Level 3 Exam to achieve the full Level 3 qualification.   However you will keep the Education Credits you acquire on a Course (there is no time limit to progress to the Level 3 Exam anymore so you can take the Exam whenever you are ready – your Education Credits remain on your profile).   

If you have already taken part in a Level 3 Course in the past but failed or not proceeded to the Exam stage, then your Educational Credits have already been allocated to your Member profile.  You can go straight to the Exam.

Everyone on a Level 3 Course automatically has a place reserved on the Level 3 Exam.

The 'extended' course is 12 days and covers ALL the level 3 modules + a 2 day exam. Also all Indoor course work in Andorra usually takes place in the evenings.

After the success of the Levll II Extended which we have been running for two seasons, in 2006-07 it was decided to apply the same principles to the Level III. The extra hours of coaching will result in higher skill levels & much better pass rates.
