Become an instructor

So you want to become an instructor? 

You can train to be an instructor without being employed by a snow sport school.

 

The APSI runs an Level 1 course - which will build your skills and prepare you for employment - or just give you great skiing or boarding skills!

 

 

No teaching experience at all!

Why not think about additional training to help prepare you for the APSI level 1 instructor qualification.

There are now courses in Australia similar to those run overseas designed to help improve your skills and even help you get a job...Courses such as:

Elite instructor training,

 3 and 4 week courses run in Thredbo.

Or

The Perisher Instructor Academy,

a seven day training program run in Perisher in June 2011 

 

Getting a job

Most snow sports schools in Australia will hire new instructors from the training (or hiring) clinics held early season.

 

Snow sport schools may also choose to employ you if you already have certification from Australia or another country eg Canada, Austria, USA

 

Keep in mind that hiring staff is up to the individual resorts and each will have their own policies and procedures. 

Here is a list of of Australian Resorts to find out when and how they are hiring

Our online shop will show you the great range of courses we have for both working instructors and those that just want to improve!
