 Becoming an instructor

Nonstop coaches and past Nonstop clients provide advice on becoming a ski instructor or snowboard instructor.

11 week Instructor Courses

Our most popular instructor course provides the ultimate fast-track into the ski or snowboard industry letting you get multiple qualifications in one winter season so you're set up for your dream career. Available in several Canadian resorts. Ski Instructor Courses / Snowboard Instructor Courses

Season Highlights

Jamie attended our 11 week ski instructor course in Canada and made a video diary every week. This video is a collection of the best bits but if you are interested in this course we'd recommend you watch all the amazing videos he made.

3-5 Week Instructor Courses

If you're keen to simply get your level 1 ski or snowboard instructor qualification either as a way of starting work the same season or as a way of improving your own technique these courses provide the answer.

Community Days

As part of our 11 week instructor courses in Canada you'll get a chance to put your level 1 qualification and skills to good use teaching your own ski or snowboard classes. It's an experience that's unique to Nonstop and hugely helps you in your successful application for employment after the course because it enables you to demonstrate that you have not just shadowed in a ski or snowboard school but actually have real-life instructing experience leading a group.

The More Program

As part of our instructor courses in Canada we organise a huge number of activities and experiences that complement the on-snow training. There are about 40 different options to pick from and so this video only gives a small taster of what's on offer. For more information check out our More Program page.

All Mountain Pro

On our 11 week instructor courses everyone takes the level 1 CSIA or CASI exam in week 5. We expect a 100% pass rate and the celebrations are always memorable! After this milestone the group splits into two streams: those that want to focus on their level 2 qualification, and those who have no interest in teaching and would rather focus 100% on their personal skiing or riding development. All Mountain Pro, or AMP, is the super-fun coaching program that they follow.

20 Week Ski Instructor Course in france

Each winter we take a few select clients to Serre Chevalier in the French Alps to take part in a training program that prepares them for the notoriously difficult French ski instructor certification. Clients usually have a previous passion for ski racing and are 100% focused on teaching in France.

Ski Patrol Course

Another way of working on-snow in the mountains is to become a ski patroller. Our 11 week ski patrol course provides you with all the training and qualifications you need to set you up in this exciting and crucial role.
