This programme is ideally suited to individuals looking to train and work in the winter sports industry, especially those who are short on time/money for the more comprehensive 12-week programme. If you are not looking to pursue a career, but would still like to have something to show for 4 weeks of skiing and fun on the snow, then this programme is perfect for you too!

The Ski Course

This programme is one of the best opportunities to gain your CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance) Level1 qualification, allowing you to teach up to advanced beginner students. The programme has time dedicated to working on your own technique, ironing-out any flaws or bad habits. However, the course is quite intense to make sure that you reach the correct standard in time for the exam.

The CSIA is an entry-level qualification that permits you to teach novices to advanced beginners. The course takes 4 days to complete and requires you to demonstrate the ability to teach basic principles, analyse individual ability and technique i.e. strengths and weaknesses, class handling, safety and to be able to deal with both children and adult beginners.

The Qualification
The main qualification you will be looking to complete during this ski instructor programme is the CSIA Level 1.

This is the entry-level of the Canadian equivalent of Ski Instructor qualifications and is recognised worldwide, allowing you to seek employment in ski schools in Europe, North America and Australasia.

Location

Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, Canada

Accommodation and Meals

All accommodation is included in the programme, in a pleasant hostel in the Comox Valley. You will stay in shared dormitory-style rooms with other students from your course. The hostel is fully furnished, with cooking and washing facilities and all of the necessary mod cons.

Some meals are included. On scheduled training days, you will receive an evening meal. Students are encouraged to cater for themselves for lunch and on non-scheduled days, budgeting approximately £30-40/week self-catering or £50/week, for a combination of eating out and self-catering.
