Course Details
The 2012 course runs 14 Jan to 22 March - accommodation is provided 14 Jan to 15 April.
Our BASI ski & snowboard instructor courses are an intensive ten weeks of training, coaching, and personal development, designed to take skiers & boarders to the level where they can be highly competent instructors. During this time, you'll spend over 300 hours on-snow training, and over 50 hours in classroom or tutorial groups.
What’s more, we include lift passes and accommodation for the remainder of the season so you're welcome to stay on once the course is finished - either working or just enjoying the skiing and/or boarding with your friends.
More about the course
Coaching and tuition takes place Monday to Friday, leaving the weekends free. Daytimes are primarily on-snow time, with lectures and tutorials in the evening.
During your time with us you'll receive intensive training and coaching in all aspects of boarding, culminating in taking your BASI 2 assessment in the last two weeks of the course.
Best of both worlds...
We run the BASI course alongside our professional ski & snowboarding school so that you benefit from the contact and shared knowledge with not only BASI Instructors & Trainers but also with our top qualified local instructors.
This enables us to offer training elements that are over and above those stipulated within the standard BASI requirements. This includes more extensive freeride training with particular emphasis on safety, providing the foundation for the type of training appropriate to become a mountain guide.
And we're uniquely positioned to provide our ‘How to run a ski resort business' course, as well as giving you the opportunity to learn and/or brush up your French.
All included...
All this is included as an integral part of your time with us - we aim to have no hidden extras or nasty surprises!
