Ski Academy Switzerland and Europe - European Ski Instructor Course

We will be offering the PSIA Level 1 qualification and for those looking for extra training and modules there is an option for a two week extension post ski instructor work. The course delivers an international recognised ski instructor qualification which allows successful candidates to teach from beginner to intermediate zones in an Alpine environment. Successful candidates have the option of immediate ski instructor work following the course in Austria or Switzerland.

The ski academy coaches will provide a constant personal development ski and teaching programme including video feedback sessions and lectures to make sure you are fully prepared for the exam. This will include video sessions, teaching sessions, stepping stones, ski school shadowing, mountain safety, ski maintenance, bumps and piste performance.

Ski School Employment

Ski Academy works with some of the best and busiest ski school around Europe. All the ski schools that are connected with Ski Academy are successful and earned top awards in their own field. We will be working with two main ski schools which are Oberschneider and Wengen Ski School. Both of these ski schools are one of the biggest in their respective countries and have a top end customer service.

Commercial ski schools (Swiss Ski School and Austrian Ski Schools) are usually government run and pay instructors on an hourly basis. Students can be expected to teach all kinds of levels and all kinds of people from the young to the old with the majority of the work over the peak season (Christmas, half term and Easter). As with all ski schools flexibility is the key.
