The Ski and Snowboard Course
This programme is one of the best opportunities to gain your CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance) Level 1 and 2 qualifications, allowing you to teach all of the way to high intermediate students. The programme has plenty of time dedicated to working on your own technique, ironing-out any flaws or bad habits. For instance, many students at the start of their instructor programmes have their own style and do not turn to the “efficient” standard required by the examiner, so having these sessions dedicated to your technique is a real head start.
In addition to this, during these sessions you will learn the correct terminology and teaching methods used to demonstrate the required skills, so every moment on the mountain will be a full learning experience.
The Qualification
There are two main qualifications you will be looking to complete during this ski instructor programme - CSIA Level 1 and 2.
These are the Canadian equivalent of Ski Instructor qualifications and are recognised worldwide, allowing you to seek employment in ski schools in Europe, North America and Australasia.
