Experience and excellence

Your training will only be run by BASI trainers so you will know what to expect on your GAP course from day one. Why settle for training for your BASI exams with ski instructors when you can have actual examiners!

Izzie Milne 

Izzie will be your main trainer for the entire duration of the course. This consistency will ensure that you develop a great working relationship and rapport with her. She will be in charge of implementing a personal development programme for each course candidate to ensure that your goals are reached for the exam and beyond. Izzie will be there to let you know where you are par rapport to the standard required and to provide you with the means of reaching the level.

She is also undoubtedly one of the nicest, friendliest and most popular BASI trainers that you will meet - a real professional!

Dave Morris 

Dave has worked through the ranks to become one of BASI’s most well respected trainers. With a reputation for being results orientated – Dave will get you where you want to go. He runs regular camps for Eurotest trainees and has one of the highest success rates in the business. He examines for all levels of BASI exams - 3, 2, & 1.

Dave Beattie 

Who better to entrust your GAP training to than Dave Beattie? Dave has been a BASI trainer for 15 years and so knows the BASI system inside out. He has trained candidates for BASI levels 3,2 and 1.
