Is a ski instructor course suited to a gap year or career break?

Absolutely. Whether or not you plan to use the qualifications, training as an instructor is the perfect way to push your skiing to the max, live life in the mountains, and meet a crew of like-minded riders.

 

Alongside qualification prep, we focus on developing your freeride and all-mountain skills, giving you fundamentals that will keep improving your riding for years to come. A season of unforgettable experiences is all-but guaranteed, with certifications as a bonus — and a door open to future work as an instructor if you choose.

What can I expect from a ski instructor course?

No matter your goal, our instructor courses are designed to take your skiing or snowboarding to the next level — with pro coaching and world-recognised qualifications. You’ll spend the season riding every day with pro coaches and a crew of like-minded mates, developing your skills and soaking up the carefree seasonaire lifestyle.

 

As well as landing recognised qualifications, you’ll level up your freeride technique, deepen your knowledge of the sport, and be guided through mountain life. From cat-skiing in the backcountry to chasing powder on epic road trips, there’s no shortage of adventure. With your accommodation, meals, and season pass all part of one dialed package — you can focus on riding, learning, and having a blast.
