Qualifications in New Zealand

Your ski instructor training programme in NZ gives you the opportunity to gain international instructor qualifications from the New Zealand Snowsports Instructor’s Alliance (NZSIA). The NZSIA is governed by the International Ski Instructors Association (ISIA) which sets the minimum standard requirements for ski instructors internationally. 

Completing your NZSIA qualifications opens up the chance to work as a ski instructor in a host of amazing destinations around the world.

Training talk

Choosing New Zealand as your ski instructor course destination will allow you to experience a winter like no other. We have joined forces with one of the most respected training teams in the industry at the Instructor Training Centre (ITC).

You can expect to be tested on a variety of different terrain with regular feedback and video analysis. The end goal is qualifying with both the NZSIA level 1 & 2 certifications. Following this, our team can assist in finding employment around the world.

Off the snow our resort team will keep you as busy as you like with regular group activities, meals and socials.
