Level 2 Exam Prep

Ready to take it to the next level? Get ready to train for your Level 2 Exam!

In this new “Covid-Era” of training, Meadows is shifting exam preparation to an entirely digital platform. We are currently working on bringing all the resources to one place for you at Meadows.

As always, feedback is useful, encouraged, and accepted. If you’re struggling with the digital platform or just overwhelmed with where to start, come talk to your training staff and we’ll do our best to organize better or find a different way.

Just like your lessons, your training is student-centered, and this process is all about YOU.

Level 2 Exams are two days long and have stricter teaching and riding skill requirements than the Level 1.

Day 1 is riding intermediate to easy black terrain, demonstrating accurate and efficient movements. Day 2 allows for 2 teaching segments to introduce new skills (intro to bumps, intro to carving).

Assessment of Movement Analysis and People Skills are built into both days. MA will now focus on the cause and effect of movements seen.

We highly recommend training in Level 2 specific clinics and having the tasks signed off by your trainers to adequately prepare you for the structure of higher level exams. Scholarship funding will hinge on this participation and the approval by trainers.
