level II avi class in Bozeman area?

[workinforturns]

I'm interested in getting level II certified and was wondering if there is anywhere close by that offers this? I dont think the class offered through: http://mtavalanche.com/education/index.shtml , gets you any kind of certification which is why I am asking.

Thanks

There is no avalanche certification in the US. You take the class. It should meet AAA guidelines (http://www.americanavalancheassociat...education.html). It probably won't include a test. That comes later. You do get a certificate saying you completed the course. You show the certificate to potential employers, or your grandma. And then you take the test, every day you are in the backcountry, until you fail.
