We’ve been running ski instructor courses for over 15 years and helped more than 500 Instructors earn their qualifications. So grab your skis and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. With bases in 6 of Europes biggest resorts, we will take your skiing to the next level and share moments you will never forget.
Long Ski Instructor Courses
7 – 12 week-long ski instructor courses designed to kick start your career in the industry. You will achieve internationally recognised ski instructor qualifications while exploring some of the best resorts in Europe. Our teams will show you their favourite hidden powder runs, teach you the essential of avalanche safety and of course take a deep dive into your performance skiing.
Our 10 week Courchevel programme is often imitated but never duplicated. The original Ski Instructor course. An unbeatable package with excellent accommodation, incredible skiing and a tight-knit community.
This ski instructor course combines a massive ski area, DC snow park and a town with a buzzing party atmosphere. A highly sought after course that leaves nothing to be desired. Don’t miss out.
If you are serious about taking your skiing to the next level, then Stubai could be the course for you. This little-known resort is the training ground of some of the world’s best racers and freeskiers.
Performance and Adventure Courses with a Ski Instructor Qualification
8 – 12 week-long programmes that combine aspects of our ski instructor courses with a more in-depth focus on off-piste skiing, racing and freestyle. As you only sit your BASI level 1 on the performance courses we have to worry less about your ability to teach and can instead spend additional time working on your own skiing. You will still achieve an internationally recognised ski instructor qualification in addition to a first aid trainer qualification and level 3 award in education and training, so you will still have plenty of professional development opportunities.
Our new Val d’Isere programme is a little different to anything we have delivered before. The ski instructor qualifications take a back seat here. Our focus is on developing skills and qualifications to support you throughout your life and professional career, whether you are on a mountain or in a board room.
Our Performance & Adventures courses are Ski instructor courses, but not as you may know them. These courses do include the BASI level 1 ski instructor qualification but focus more on your personal performance and exploring every inch, on and off-piste of the resort you are based in. They also include a QNUK level 3 award in education and training, designed to help you develop your coaching skills in a broader environment.
Short Ski Instructor Courses
Achieve your goals in just four weeks. We’ll give you a deep dive into the world of Instructor training while getting you ready for your exams. The only reason you will want to leave is to go and work.
One of our most popular programmes and with good reason. These courses are designed to help you bridge the gap between the BASI level 1 & BASI level 2. Even if you have sat your level 1 with very few issues the jump to level 2 can catch people out. These courses will help you make sure you are fully prepared.
Join the first two weeks of our renowned BASI Level 2 FastTrack ski instructor course and quickly take your skiing to the next level. This training is best used immediately before your level 2 exam. If you want to use it as standalone personal development training that is fine but there could be better options for you.
Just the Exams
For those of you who are ready to go.
Book onto the BASI Level 1 exam and get your career started. This course includes no training so please check the criteria and make sure you are within a touching distance of the level required to pass. Your BASI trainer will help you improve across the week so some wiggle room is allowed but it is better to be safe than sorry.
The BASI level 2 exam is a two week-long continual exam that will assess your teaching and technical skills. This is just the exam and no additional training is included. Your BASI trainer will be able to help you develop throughout the course but you do need to start the exam pretty close to the level if not already at the level.
I loved every minute of it. For the first time in many years, I knew why I was doing what I was doing
