Ski Instructor course in Switzerland

You’ll learn about mountain safety and effective ski instruction under expert guidance. Our curriculum includes both pre-certification training and an intensive program leading up to the exams, designed for a range of goals—from achieving Level 1 certification to obtaining both Level 1 and 2 in the same course.  In Switzerland the standards for ski instructors are high and some ski schools require that you have both Level 1 and 2, if you want to go beyond teaching kids. Therefore we offer programmes that stretch over an entire season, meaning you will take your level 1 at first, then spend some time doing shadow work and gradually starting working. Then you will take your Level 2 and get to work for the rest of the season. That way, you will be perfectly prepared for your work in some of the best ski schools in the world! For skiing enthusiasts not planning to teach, we offer intense 10-week programs which also award Level 1 and 2 certifications, allowing you to master skiing without the commitment to spend the entire season in Switzerland.

While the majority of courses and teaching will be in English, you can consider joining our German or French online language courses, to prepare yourself for the local language in your resort.

And besides all that training, our Snowminders of course have an awesome time together, exploring everything that Switzerland offers besides the amazing skiing. With Snowminds, you will enjoy Team Events, have a Team Leader by your side and make friends from all over the world!
