FAQ’s
We’ve got the answers
Which is the best Airport to fly to?
The transfer we will provide will be from Geneva Airport.
How do you get from Geneva Airport to Tignes?
We will organise Transfers for you. We group students based on arrival times, so you may have a short wait at the airport.
Does the course include a ski pass?
Yes, your lift pass is included in the cost of your course.
Do you need to speak a second language?
The course will be primarily run in English so you don’t need to speak a second language. However, the better your language skills the easier it will be to find work immediately after the course and in the future.
Will you get a job after the course?
Possibly, every student has the opportunity to interview to join our instructor team. In order to be offered a job, you need to be successful in the interview and have successfully passed your BASI Level 2. Employment opportunities are subject to qualification recognition in the country you want to work in and working rights. Successful candidates could get work in the peak weeks, Christmas, Half-Term and Easter.
What Qualifications do our coaches have?
Our coaches are all fully qualified instructors. We use a mixture of BASI trainers and specialist coaches to prepare you for your exams fully.
Do you need Avalanche Safety equipment to ski off-piste?
It is unlikely that you will be skiing off-piste as the BASI Level2 does not include an off-piste module. However, if the conditions will allow it our team of coaches may decide to make the most of the conditions and ski off-piste during your training. To ski off-piste safely, you must carry a transceiver shovel and probe. If you don’t purchase avalanche safety equipment you will need to hire it for the off-piste days. These aren’t included in the ski instructor courses but can be added as an optional extra.
