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:
3 and 4 week courses run in Thredbo.
Or
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!
