Snowboard Associations Who Operate In Japan
These three associations tend to run certifications during the Japanese winter season. This always depends on demand from candidates and also availability of examiners in Japan. They normally post their course calendars at the end of the southern hemisphere winter season however some exams might be arranged through snowsports schools in Japan and ad hoc when there is demand.
