If you do not see the Request button, please reach out to Student Affairs for support at the email addresses provided below. 


Our administration team will review your request for enrollment to ensure all requirements have been met. If approved, you will be enrolled in the Self-Recorded Exam for your program and notified of your enrollment. Please note that fees for Self-Recorded Testing are due at the time of enrollment. Before proceeding with payment, students must read and agree to the Enrollment Agreement in its entirety. 



To make your payment, go to the Manage Billing tab on the left side of the screen. [More information on how to complete payment is available here.] After payment is completed, the Self-Recording Instructions tab will appear. Follow the instructions carefully!




It is the student's responsibility to arrange a location to film with access to all apparatus covered in their program. Students will also need to independently arrange a volunteer to teach when filming the teaching portion of the exam. Volunteers should ideally be injury-free, at an intermediate level, and familiar with the BASI methodology. Students are welcome to teach in their preferred language.

Use of BASI Systems equipment is not required for filming. Students must have the ability to record with quality audio and video in order to participate in Self-Recorded Testing.

Students have 72 hours to submit their videos after generating their repertoire list. If videos are not submitted within 72 hours, the exam will be voided. Be sure you are uploading the correct videos. Once uploaded, videos submissions cannot be changed. Allow ample time for videos to be uploaded. You will be notified when the upload is complete.



Click the blue Submit for Grading button to complete your submission.





Your submissions will be reviewed by BASI Examiners. Please allow up to four weeks to receive your results.
