Courchevel Level 1 & 2 Ski Instructor Course

If you want to take your skills as a skier up another level, then our Courchevel Level 1 & 2 Ski Instructor Course is the right course for you. The resort offers plenty of wide-open pistes and perfectly groomed runs but lurking in these beautiful mountains are steep couloirs and powdery slopes that will make any of your ski dreams come true!

While the rich and famous flock to Courchevel for the 5-star hotels, exclusive restaurants and cocktail bars. We love it for its mainly north-facing mountains, hidden runs and because the rich and famous don’t ski very much, it’s quiet pistes. As the season progresses, your skiing will transform as you work towards an internationally recognised Ski Instructor Qualification.

Level

Our Ski Instructor Courses are designed to push you technically, challenge your comfort zone and help start a career as an instructor. A love of teaching is just as important if not more so than your ability to ski! But .. We do still recommend that you are at least a Level 5 Skier.

We’ll focus on fun, on-piste technical skiing this week, regardless of conditions. We’ll be working towards building a solid technical base before tackling the teaching modules. Then at the weekend, we’ll introduce Off-Piste Safety and Avalanche Rescue.

  • Week 2

    Technical Skiing & BASI Level 1 Exam Preparation

    In the mornings, we’ll focus on personal performance, on the piste. In the afternoons we’ll run teaching sessions and ensure everyone has a solid technical understanding before the BASI Level 1 exam next week.

    Fun & Performance

    This week, we’ll have a fun performance week. Dependent on conditions, we’ll ski on and off-piste playing around, getting used to different snow types and finding which aspect of skiing we like best. This will also be a huge week for progression as you find your feet off-piste.

  • Week 6

    Shadowing

    Shadowing lessons on the slopes. This week you’ll see how the instructors cope in varying conditions, with kids and adult groups. You’ll learn about group management, how to help kids have fun and the differences in how people learn.

  • Week 8

    Exam Preparation

    As we get closer to the BASI Level 1, we’ll split into two groups by strengths and weaknesses to develop our own skiing and share ideas. We’ll focus on short turns, long turns, bumps and variables and teaching. We’ll push hard on-piste to get the most performance out of the ski.
