The term 'ASI School' covers all instructors delivering services to the public—whether they are paid or voluntary, operate as a mobile school or fixed school with premises, work solo, or manage a team of staff.

If you run your own business, whether independently or with employees, you qualify as a 'school' under this designation.

This opportunity is available to ASI Accredited Instructors.

Not an ASI instructor? You can transfer your current non ASI instructor qualifications and ASI Accredited school application, at the same time. Take advantage of ASI's special instructor transfer fees.
