You must be 15 years of age or older and must possess good parallel skiing skills.

No worries, that's what the course is all about. The evaluators are there to teach you how to teach, so that you will be able to go out and give a great first lesson.

CSIA - You must take a re-test, which occurs during the last 2 days of any scheduled Level 1 course. Please contact the Level 1 Coordinator in your region to register.

CSCF - If you've failed skiing or teaching portion, you'll have to re-test one of them.

No, you will be re-tested on your failed portion. However, this must be done within 2 seasons (730 calendar days) from the time you failed your skiing or teaching portion. If you wait later than 2 seasons, you will have to take the full course over again, but will not be tested on the passed portion.
