SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTOR SUMMER COURSE IN AUSTRIA

Opportunity to get your snowboard certification already in summer!

Summer Snowboarding instructor Dream in Austria

Becoming a snowboard instructor in the summer offers unique contrasts: From the green and blooming valley, the gondola takes you up into the white dream. Enjoy your lunch break in the sunny deck chairs after shredding glacier slopes, returning after snowboarding, and quickly changing from your snowboard uniform into a swimsuit. Sounds pretty good right?

Besides enjoying the summer snowboarding experience, we offer you a short and affordable snowboard instructor education with the “bare essentials” you need to know for being a well-educated snowboard instructor. We will help to make sure you are thoroughly prepared to crush your Level 1 exam and achieve your dream of becoming a paid snowboard instructor in Austria. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to already have your snowboard instructor certification in summer before everyone else and being perfectly prepared for a season the next winter. If you are interested, we are more than happy to help you find a job at a skischool that fits best to you.

NOTE! Our instructor course is also offered as a Ski Instructor Course with the same content and travel days!

Recommendation: If you want more comprehensive training in the winter, check out our 5-week snowboard instructor course

Key details about the course

 

HOUSING

Housing during course

You will live in a hotel with all the basic necessities. You can expect to live with 2-5 people per room or apartment. While this may not sound fancy, that’s “mountain luxury” for you. The half board in the hotel includes breakfast and dinner.

EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION

Education

Our local trainers are certified to introduce you to the most essential exercises needed to master and subsequently pass the Level 1 course.

Each year, we see our instructor’s technique evolve quickly and through ongoing personalized feedback. Our number #1 goal is to make sure you are ready for your exam and to become a certified snowboard instructor for future seasons.

You will also participate in a few team activities that are meant to be enjoyed and hopefully create the strong Snowminds team bond we are known for.

 

Certification

To offer a high-quality education, we work together with the Salzburger Berufskilehrer & Snowboardlehrer Verband – one of the world’s most recognized instructor federation. This will not only look good on the CV but is also very useful if you decide to return with Snowminds for our other destinations around the world.

AFTER THE COURSE

What are your options after the course?

If you are interested in a season in Austria we would like to offer you our help by getting you in contact with an Austrian Ski School and secure you a job in the following winter season.

Employment details are arranged with the ski school. As a snowboard instructor, your job offer will likely be a high-season contract.

If you are looking for a longer winter season, we recommend to check out our ski and snowboard instructor course in November where you can get certified to teach both skiing and snowboarding.
