The Course...

Designed to find you work on qualifying: If you’re thinking of spending your gap year or career break qualifying and working as a ski instructor, the latest Peak Leaders development with ‘European Snowsport’ ( ES ) of Verbier, will be of interest. ES train you to become a ski instructor then employ you as an instructor. You get approximately two months paid work experience in a leading Alpine school.

What makes this course unusual is, first, it is endorsed by BASI specifically with the aim of providing a pool of BASI instructors for employment in Switzerland with English speaking clients and second, you can work to offset some of the costs of your BASI course.

Julian Griffiths head of the ski school says, ‘Trainees will start in early December, finish at the end of the season and, if up to standard, be offered guaranteed employment.’ You’ll be part of the ski school and could ultimately be in an excellent position to fulfil your dream of becoming a ski instructor.

Applicants must be dedicated, strong skiers who wish to excel in their chosen sport whilst working and learning in an established ski school. This course has restricted numbers and applicants will be pre - selected by the head of the ski school.
