 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello all,
Chasing some information on the best option on Snowboard instructor courses? I have been looking at the Anwarter courses offered and that seems like a decent course.
Main questions are:
- Is the Anwarter course desirable worldwide for work?
- Recommendations on which course to pursue; Casi, Basi, Anwarter etc?
- Some threads I have read recommend the Anwarter as the best course? is there truth to this?
Cheers guys.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Where are you looking to work, and how's your German?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Looking anywhere I Europe really.
I have done some further research and the Anwarter course seems only to be required in Austria.
I am leaning toward Basi now. Thoughts?
My German is 0. I would have to do a language course also.

BASI is almost certainly the most internationally-recognised Snowboard Instructor course out there - but bear in mind that you need to get to level 3/4 to really get the benefit of this.
Level 1 is not well recognised, but plenty of people are out there working (in Austria, Switzerland, NZ/Aus, Canada, etc.) with level 2.

Also be aware that it can be harder to find jobs in Europe if you are just a snowboard instructor, much better if yiu can tech skiing too.

Does anyone teach skiing/snowboarding for the money?
My Daughter has been BASI L2 qualified for two years. She works for Les Elfes in Verbier, she receives full food and board and a pretty decent salary. She is currently home for a month to return for a summer season of MTBing and wakeboarding.
She qualified with Peak Leaders in Morzine.
A keen youngster could have great few years living off of L2, it would be better than seasonaire money. If they then wish to progress through the levels, great.  It's getting past the 'experience' hurdle which is the tricky one.

Is there any way to feel your legs on a board. I mean to move normal. I'm trying to learn snowboarding but my fixed legs make me crazy. Is there any way to get used to it?

Kate Bennet: Try bending your knees more and pushing your bum out whilst keeping a straight back. Ensure your body is over the centre of the board when you do this.
should free you up more.
