career break ski and snowboard courses

career break ski and snowboard courses

If you need a break from the day-to-day routine of the workplace or a change of career, our ski and snowboard instructor courses can provide the inspiration or direction you may be looking for.

Alternatively, if you are at threat of redundancy or have been made redundant, our ski or snowboard instructor training courses can provide a fresh, new opportunity for you to start a new line of work, or even something to simply look forward to.

Many people who have completed one of our courses have left their old lives behind and started a new career in ski or snowboard instruction, returning to ski resorts season after season or even emmigrating.

qualify and work in the other hemisphere

Some people have attained their Level 2 qualification in Canada and then worked in the Southern Hemisphere over the Summer. Others have qualified in New Zealand and then worked the winter season in Europe or North America.

return to the resort where you trained

As you are being taught by top instructors from the ski and snowboard school in the resort, you are in the best learning environment to succeed. Many people return to the resort where they trained in Canada to work as an instructor because they get to know the instructors and the way the ski and snowboard school operates so well during the course. The resort can also sponsor your visa for you to go back there to work the following season.

International Academy courses provide an excellent foundation from which you can build on in order to continue your skiing or snowboarding development and work up the levels of certification.

testimonials

"An excellent blend of freeriding and tutorial. The course has improved my riding to a higher level and furthered my knowledge of snowboarding. I now have the skills and ability to make a career change!!"
Heath Wakelin, age 36, Cardrona 2007

"After 8 years in Engineering I decided to change career and train to be an Instructor. After selling my house and car, I booked the International Academy course in Whistler after finding it on the internet. I expected to make some new friends, have fun skiing, learn new skills, and leave with some qualifications. The course surpassed all expectations and I will hopefully be using my qualifications in NZ this summer or in North America or Europe next winter."
Robert Wilson, Whistler 2007
