Ski Courses for Productive Gap Years

For young people, taking a gap year before or after university can be a life-changing experience, and for those with a passion for the mountains, doing a ski or snowboard course is an incredible opportunity.

Whether students are searching for a way to take their skiing or snowboarding to instructor standard, or considering a career as a snowsports instructor, our courses focus on training for a set of qualifications that are recognised around the world, with accommodation, meals, activities, social events and hosting all part of the course package.

Students share the experience with a ready-made group of like-minded snow fanatics, developing their all-mountain skiing skills and experiencing everything from avalanche safety and winter-camping, to ice-skating on frozen lakes and volunteer teaching.

A productive, structured and adventurous gap year option, students will leave with a host of qualifications and soft skills to add to their CV, a network of new friends and a season’s worth of memories in the books.

For the many young school or university leavers who join us each winter, this can be their first significant length of time away from home (4-11 weeks), without the constraints of work or study. This serves as a great time for personal growth and confidence building, as they find their feet with who they are and chase their passions. We recognise it's a big decision for many parents but, when you travel with Nonstop, you can have peace of mind that you are booking with an established family-run instructor training provider with over 20 years of expertise.|
