Based in Zermatt, Switzerland, overlooking the most iconic Matterhorn, our course runs before winter (in autumn) from October to November for 2 months with 8 weeks of training including Level 1 and 2 ski exams.
The on-snow training runs 5 days (Monday to Friday), full days. A mix of personal ski technique development and teaching development will be the core of each day on the hill. You will learn how to improve your carving, short turns, moguls, and fresh snow skiing. In addition, you will refine your teaching ability. In the afternoon and evenings, we run weekly dry-land training and stretching sessions, seminars on anatomy and biomechanics applied to skiing, and seminars on teaching methods. The weekend is free, allowing free practice on the slopes or a well-deserved rest!
Whether you are looking to start a ski instructor career, improve your ski technique, a career change or you are looking to get away and experience the great Swiss mountains, get in touch! We welcome skiers of all ages and from all around the world, and we can talk through your ambitions and how we can help you get there.
Our previous courses included individuals from various backgrounds, ages, and nationalities, and if you would like to learn more about the course, we can connect you with past trainees.
