This placement would suit... Intermediate skiers and snowboarders looking for a fast way to enter the snowsports industry.


Start as a keen intermediate skier/rider and progress to Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance qualification as a Ski Instructor Level 2, or Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors' qualification as a Snowboard Instructor Level 2, the passports to winter job opportunities worldwide.

The course is equally attractive if you simply want to improve your technical knowledge and ability on the slopes. We cover methods of detection and correction and help you to apply these to yourself as you learn the latest techniques.

You start with two weeks of ski/board training in preparation for the Level 1 instructor course in your third week. This is where you develop your interpersonal skills and learn the specific CSIA or CASI method for teaching beginners.

The course continues with a further two weeks of practical and theoretical skills development leading to the Level 2 instructor assessment in the final week of the programme.

At the end of the course your skiing/riding will be radical. Once qualified you can take advantage of the Flying Fish careers advice and job placement service to find positions in the snowsports industry all over the world (including Switzerland, Austria, Andorra, Germany, Czech Republic, Australia and New Zealand).
