 Topic: Snowboard Instructor SeasonPosted: 22 April 2014 at 15:52 |

Hi,
Im looking at doing my first season within the next year, i have looked at multiple options of jobs, bar work, chalet work etc but have come across courses offering training to become a snowboard instructor with a guaranteed job at the end of the course for the whole of the season. http://www.alltracksacademy.com/courses/internships/snowboard-instructor-internship/ I know it appears a little pricey for a course so im just wondering if anyone has been on this course or something similar and whether it is worth the money, could i plan and do this myself and get a job instructing without forking out thousands of pounds? Any advice is appreciated ! |

Hey Sledger
Yeah these courses can seem pricey, but I guess you are paying for the fact they sort it all for you. I did the EA Snowboarding one in Mt Norquay in Canada and it was epic. I did pay a bit upfront, but it meant I got there and had training and stuff, then a guaranteed job offer from the ski school there. This was pretty sweet actually as there were lots of people who just went there on their own and ended up having to wait tables and stuff cos they couldn't get an instructor job. So in my case it was 100% worth it.

But what is life actually like as a ski or snowboard instructor? Is it all glamour - sun tans, buns of steel and doe-eyed customers?!

Hi Vivian,
If you are doing it as a Ski Course or a Dual Ski & Snowboard Course then you should be able to support yourself throughout the season as a full time job. If you are doing a Snowboard Course then the harsh reality is that you will only be able to get work during the peak periods of the season. Unfortunately there is less and less demand these days for snowboard only instructors as the demand for these lessons continue to decline. If you'd like to chat about your options please get in touch and I'd be happy to talk through them. Regards, Gary

Teaching “full time” has so many variables in this industry as it relies on a number of factors such as snow conditions, bookings within the ski school, peak / off peak seasons and of course your own work ethos and performance within your job.
No ski school could ever guarantee you full time work each week, whether you’re a skier or a snowboarder. That’s just the way it is I’m afraid. - Ski Instructor Academy Team |

Hi everyone! I don’t want to violate the rules of the forum, so I’m wondering if it is ok to tell the local audience about a new platform where professional instructors can post their services for new clients to find and book them?
