 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
long time no post for me, been watching over things a little recently but it's been breaking my heart as I'm not getting away for yet another season, I might just make it for the eosb if all goes to plan at work but I won't be holding out my hopes!
Anyway, I'm looking for a company to do my instructor training with next season and will be committing the whole season to some skiing.
Anyone have any reccomendations? I don't want to spend the earth, but don't mind spending alot for the right thing, I want to know it will get me somewhere.
I already have formal coaching experience in cycling with british cycling so have a good understanding of the basic principles already.
Cheers in advance,
George

Snoworks run a pre-season gap course in Tignes. Get BASI L1 and L2 done by Christmas, then get some teaching done in Switzerland for the rest of the season. Seems cheaper than other gap courses as it's shorter and most of the accommodation is during the cheaper part of the year, then the opportunity to earn a bit of money and get some teaching experience January - April.

Peak Leaders have courses in many places (inc Japan!), both long and short courses. I did my course in St Anton (Austria) for four weeks before Christmas last season. You get the Austrian Anwarter (equivalent to BASI 2) and a job sorted with the Arlberg ski school in ANton for the season. One of the best things about it is the Anwarter makes it soooooooooo easy to sort jobs in other resorts (in Austria and Switxerland anyway), I think it would be much harder to find work with BASI 2, even though in theory they are the same, I've never met anyone teaching in an Austria school with a BASI qualification. Check out my blog for more details of my experience, and a link to Peak Leaders.
