Become a certified Level 2 Ski Instructor in Canada

The Dream in Canada

Are you ready to ski harder, better, faster, stronger? Good. We are confident Daft Punk would approve. That’s why Snowminds offers you our Level 2 CSIA or PSIC ski instructor training course, where you now have the opportunity to shred like a pro and receive two instructor educations within a single winter season. When combined with a Level 1 instructor internship, you can now quickly go from a beginner to a highly-competent ski instructor with advanced certification on your very first winter season abroad. This is your perfect chance to double-down and level-up!

Training during the season 

The course will take place at your ski destination in Canada, where in the period January – March you will receive preparatory technical training from one of the ski school’s best ski instructors. This training will drastically improve your level, as well as get you ready for the Canadian level 2 exam, which typically takes place between January-March. We plan your training days with the ski school so that it is coordinated with your work schedule, which means that with the training you can develop your ski level during the season and at the same time gain experience working as an instructor in a ski school.

What’s included?

Our level 2 training courses are designed to prepare you for the CSIA or PSIC level 2 exam, with focused technical training days before taking your CSIA or PSIC level 2 modules and exams. The price and specific training schedule will vary depending on the resort you are working in.

Included in all our level 2 programs:

• Technical training days in preparation for the Level 2 exam
• Canadian Level 2 instructor certification (including all modules, exams, course materials, and instructor certification

Since the training is planned around your work schedule at the ski school, the amount of training days and therefore the price for the program varies on location. Please contact us for details on pricing and to add this course to your booking.

What’s not included? 

• Mealplan, accommodation and anything else not mentioned above*
• Potential costs for converting a non-Canadian level 1 certification over to CSIA or PSIC (if traveling as an experienced instructor) e.g CSIA or PSIC membership

*The course takes place at the destination where you are working in a ski school, with which you will have a lift pass and accommodation already arranged as part of your travel. Therefore expenses for lift passes, accommodation, etc. are not included as in the price.

Who can apply?

This Level 2 training program is a continuation of our internship season program. The preparatory training typically starts in January and builds on your Canadian level 1 ski instructor training.

You can also participate if you travel with Snowminds as an experienced instructor on a season in Canada, in which case you will need to have successfully passed a Level 1 Instructor certification from CSIA or PSIC or alternative instructor certification, e.g BASI, APSI, NZSIA.

If you are already signed up for a Level 1 internship, or traveling as an experienced instructor and would like to attend a level 2 course, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible to register. Spots on our level 2 programs fill up fast!
