Ski Instructor Training
Are you already a qualified ski instructor or do you dream of being one? Either way we’ve got you covered. We have been training ski instructors since 2004, helping them achieve their skiing goals through our renowned coaching methods, with plenty of fun times along the way. Previous students have gone on to work all over the world from Canada to Japan, some are still in Verbier and a handpicked selection have gone on to join the Academy team.
Whether you are dreaming of a winter education once you’ve finished your traditional one or you are looking to gain your next level of qualification we have the solution for you, winter and summer.
Make your dreams come true
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a new career. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you just love skiing and want to spend some time developing, learning and improving. Whatever it is, you won’t regret joining us in Verbier for what will be some unforgettable ski experiences.
L1 & L2
The Winter Ski Instructor courses consist of a minimum of ten weeks training in one of the best resorts in the world, Verbier in Switzerland. The course includes both the Level 1 and Level 2 IASI ski instructor exams. On successful completion, students are qualified as Level 2 ski instructors perfectly in time to apply for jobs before February half term.
We’ve run instructor courses since 2004, in this time we’ve tweaked and perfected the course and program. Year on year we regularly have 100% pass rates, students that hugely develop both in their skiing, as teachers and grow as people. Great friendships are made, lots of fun had and memories to last a lifetime.
There are options to extend the course to include Level 3 training too if you really want to take your skiing to the next level and train beyond the Level 2 exam after the initial 10 weeks or to bolt on some off-piste skiing for a more adrenaline focussed goal. For the extended options, we’re also on hand to help with applications for Visas if you wish to stay out (applicable to Brits and non-Schengen area residents).
L3 & L4 Work and Train programme
In 2012 we formalised our higher level training and created our hugely successful L3 and L4 training programs during the winter season here in Verbier, Switzerland
The program is designed for skiers who have at a minimum gained their L2 instructor qualifications. It is however, also open to recreational skiers with the required ability, irrelevant of qualification, who wish to train in a structured program to achieve their ski potential.
The program offers instructors training for their Level 3 or 4 exams the perfect amount of intense training interspersed with periods to work, practice and engrain good habits. Job opportunities are available at Synergy Ski School for those interested and with the right to work in Switzerland.
