Course goals also include evaluating each participant to the AIARE Level 3 standard.

The Level 3 course builds on the concepts introduced in the prerequisite AIARE Level 2. These include standardizing snow and weather observations and techniques to the Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Guidelines of the American Avalanche Association (2004).
