Certified is a program that demands “…the highest level of proficiency from patrollers through training and testing and would promote a level of patrolling in which there would be no compromise with excellence in skiing, first aid, patrol management, administration and leadership.”
– George Wesson [1921-2010], who developed the Certified Program for NSP and subsequently for Southern Division.

- Module 1: Area Operations and Risk Management
- Module 2: Avalanche Management
- Module 3: Emergency Care
- Module 4: Lift Evacuation and Rope Knowledge
