SKI INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

During our ski instructor training courses and ski instructor internships we utilise experienced, highly certified trainers to deliver our on-snow programmes. The trainers are all senior members of the ski school and have been responsible for training, mentoring and qualifying many instructors over the years.

Our training packages are very thorough, we aim to maximise the amount of on-snow training you receive to ensure you are fully prepared for your instructor exams. The training is focussed around technique improvement, the ability to demonstrate the correct movements and progressions, and understanding how to effectively plan and deliver a lesson.

COURSE REVIEWS

Kate Shires

Ski Instructor Internship

WE ARE SNO have been fantastic the whole way through, they’re a brilliant company and I thoroughly recommend! I have just completed my first ski season and absolutely loved it, much to WAS’s credit! Adrian is brilliant in communication and information when applying for Visas, what to expect etc and I felt really prepared prior to and during the season.

Charles Brayshaw

Ski Instructor Internship

This was the best experience ever. People are really friendly and our programme managers went above and beyond any my expectations. The training here is really great and gives you the skills to be able to do many more seasons. I have had plenty of fun even with COVID-19 going on. I would highly recommend doing this if you are on the fence.

Tom Maynard

Ski Instructor Internship

Our training in Niseko was run by one of the most established ski schools in the area. Our trainer, Campbell, had around 18 seasons worth of experience so its some of the best coaching I’ve ever received. My skiing technique was dissected, critiqued and then built back up, so I’m skiing better than ever. The course sets you up for success and its great fun both on and off the slopes.

Tom Loddo

Ski Instructor Internship

WE ARE SNO made a very daunting and difficult adventure seem easy and thoroughly enjoyable! From the start, their support through the visa application and travel was great, something I had never done before but went incredibly smoothly. Their reps in Canada upon our arrival were extremely friendly and helpful, getting us settled quickly and giving us great experiences to remember.

Jak Bower

Ski Instructor Internship

The whole experience was amazing. We all worked hard for the qualification, but we had plenty of time to chill. The accommodation was everything we needed with comfy beds, and only a short walk from the slopes and bars. The quality of the training definitely gave us the upper hand compared to similar programs and the 100% pass rate is proof. I could not recommend this more to anyone thinking about working a ski season abroad.

Thomas Kitchen

Ski Instructor Internship

This course is everything it says it is and more, all the nitty gritty stuff handled for you so you can just get out there and start your season right. I feel confident after this that I can now make my way forward as a Ski Instructor and look forward to many seasons just like the one I've just had. First rate training and fantastic support all the way through.

Ski Instructor Internship

This course is everything it says it is and more, all the nitty gritty stuff handled for you so you can just get out there and start your season right. I feel confident after this that I can now make my way forward as a Ski Instructor and look forward to many seasons just like the one I've just had. First rate training and fantastic support all the way through.

WE ARE SNO have been fantastic the whole way through, they’re a brilliant company and I thoroughly recommend! I have just completed my first ski season and absolutely loved it, much to WAS’s credit! Adrian is brilliant in communication and information when applying for Visas, what to expect etc and I felt really prepared prior to and during the season.

This was the best experience ever. People are really friendly and our programme managers went above and beyond any my expectations. The training here is really great and gives you the skills to be able to do many more seasons. I have had plenty of fun even with COVID-19 going on. I would highly recommend doing this if you are on the fence.

Our training in Niseko was run by one of the most established ski schools in the area. Our trainer, Campbell, had around 18 seasons worth of experience so its some of the best coaching I’ve ever received. My skiing technique was dissected, critiqued and then built back up, so I’m skiing better than ever. The course sets you up for success and its great fun both on and off the slopes.

WE ARE SNO made a very daunting and difficult adventure seem easy and thoroughly enjoyable! From the start, their support through the visa application and travel was great, something I had never done before but went incredibly smoothly. Their reps in Canada upon our arrival were extremely friendly and helpful, getting us settled quickly and giving us great experiences to remember.

The whole experience was amazing. We all worked hard for the qualification, but we had plenty of time to chill. The accommodation was everything we needed with comfy beds, and only a short walk from the slopes and bars. The quality of the training definitely gave us the upper hand compared to similar programs and the 100% pass rate is proof. I could not recommend this more to anyone thinking about working a ski season abroad.
