2024 OEC Refresher Training

Ski Patrol members active with their patrol and in good standing with NSP must complete annual OEC Refresher training to maintain their certification. Training is completed through online training modules and an in-person skills session.

The OEC technician card operates off of a three-year renewal cycle. Members complete refreshers A, B, and C within that 3-year period. Patrollers are required to complete the current year's refresher prior to the end of the year (December 31, 2024) in order to maintain active status. If a patroller fails to complete OEC Refresher before the deadline, they will become delinquent. There are other patrols holding Refresher training this fall you may sign up to attend. Reference the Northern Division Calendar for dates and contact the patrol to attend. A makeup may be taken to reinstate active OEC status, but keep in mind, a patroller can only patrol once their OEC status is current and up-to-date.

1. Register on the NSP Center for Learning <2024 OEC Refresher Cycle B - Online Modules>. Complete training and print/save a copy of certificate.
