I am trying to apply at a local ski shop, and when i talked to the guy he said if i took some online tests to get certified for like Tyrolia, Head, Salomon, and K2 then he would give me a job. But i can't find these tests anywhere. Where can i find these tests or become certified?

You typically need to pay to take the courses. The reps often give them. Im not certified to mount bindings, but I guess thats what your doing?

you probably take a course with a rep and then the rep will give you a url for a private site for you to take the test online. get in contact with a rep and see where that gets you.

I have taken them all online before, you need the URL from the rep, and then your shop password.

you already need the job to access the tests. i know for salomon that if you're not working in a shop you're certification is void so it wouldn't matter regardless

nope. you see there is no where on the salomon test for you to enter a credit card number to pay for it. you enter your shop's ID number which you would obtain from the manager or rep and then the store is charged for the test. the salomon test is $30 CDN not too sure about US.
