Not sure I understand the question - are you looking to ski or snowboard, what level? At the higher levels you may find the higher qualified instructors are working on Instructor coaching for the likes of nonstopski but there are plenty of ripping guys and gals in the ski school. At beginner levels you should find that they are all trained to a common methodology.
There is only the one ski & snowboard school as in most N American resorts.

sorry....should have given more info....
i'm skiing - can get down most things with varying degrees of style and grace! :> looking to do some lessons improving my ability to ski the fluffy stuff and anything else the hill throws at me.
my other half is boarding, and looking for pretty much the same stuff....
looking on the fernie web site, i can only find the one ski school. a web search pulls up a variety of instructor courses, such as nonstopski and while i'd love to, i'm not there long enough to take advantage.
the local ski school there looks like it will do the job, i'm just curious if there are any others or any recommended ones.
seem to remember whistler having a couple of different ski/snowboard schools - but it is a tad bigger! :>
thanks for any hints....
darren.

reality, Hey it's north america the land of the free market - you only get one ski school. I suspect RCR own the ski hill, lifts, snow, ski school, accommodation, cafes, etc
Having said that it's a very very nice ski / boarding school. The likes of nonstopski use the local ski school instructors. I can recommend one individual instructor, local and very good, but probably contracted out to nonstopski. If interested drop me a PM as I don't like naming people in public without permission.
Best of luck

reality, For Ski Instructor try Christian Leheay?(sp) He's a grade 3 or probably a grade 4 by now, would have passed the grade 4 but got injured. Great Instructor, Fernie local, works as a Carpenter during the Summer, just in case I've got his surname wrong.
