why choose our verbier programme

One of the main elements of our programme is that we work in partnership with Alpinemojo to provide the training and all of their instructors have the Swiss Patente which allows them to ski off piste. This is a major benefit.

For our early season courses, we can offer paid work placements through SkiBound for those who want to instruct after the programme over the February half term and / or Easter holidays. Placements are subject to availability and are allocated on a first come, first served basis upon receipt of a booking deposit. You must successfully pass the BASI Level 2 exam to be eligible for a placement.

You do not have to do the work placements after the course as you may wish to stay on in resort, do some extra sightseeing or simply return home. This is just an added opportunity for those who want to use their ski or snowboard qualifications after an early season ski or snowboard instructor training course to do some paid work teaching others on their ski holidays.

If you are interested, please contact us on 029 2066 0200 for more information.
