I guess you've seen the list of all the Anwärter courses in Tyrol. None of them seem to fit your criteria. There will be courses in other states/counties but I suspect most will be at the start of the season, probably in December. The SnowSport Austria site gives links to all the areas (under Landesverbände).

cico92, welcome to Snowheads.
Would they mind if you did your BASI L2 (BASI's first level of mountain qualification) instead? There are a couple of courses listed on the website in Jan, although not in Austria, and currently full (you can ask to be put on the waiting list).

My feeling is that in Austria an Austrian qualification is necessary (though I'm not 100% sure of that). One technical argument that SnowSport Austria might base that requirement on is that the training in Austria is "polysportive", i.e. ski instructor training also includes units on snowboarding, etc. I'm not sure whether BASI courses cover the same ground. Do they, beanie1?

cico92, you need either Basi L2 (to enable you to teach on their nurseries) or the Anwaerter.
From my understanding the school you are teaching for (potentially) have to 'sponsor' you for the Anwaerter (although you pay!). So maybe go back to the school and ask which they recommend.
I don't think you will find one in main season. They are normally pre/post. Good Luck!

espri, each area of Austria has their own rules, but generally you can be employed by a ski school with your L2.
BASI qualifications do include a second discipline, but not until L3.

Aye, but if we're being honest the anwarter makes it a lot easier to get a job.

They don't have their own rules but do have their own governing body of ski instructors per county. So if you are 'sponsored' by a school in Salzburgerland it is governed by the Salzburg authority and they run the course although you may do the cert in Tyrol.
But it is a nationally recognised cert and is not county specific.

flangesax, sorry, I meant they have their own rules about the recognition of overseas qualifications, what you need to do to work independently in the region etc. Austria has one national qualification as you say.

thank you for your replies, although I am fairly sure that the Austrian qualification is needed to instruct in Austria, I will enquire about the level 2 (BASI)
espri, thank you for the link with available anwarters in the tirol region. Is there another region where I can do the anwarter?
Or is Tirol the only skiing region?
Thanks

There are several regions in Austria where you can ski. For the ski instructor organisations the local area sites are all listed here (but with the data mostly in German - Salzburger Land does have the info in English). After Tyrol, Salzburger Land is probably the most practical (with large areas like Ski Amadé) but, if the dates suited better, places a little further away, like Kärnten, might also be possible. As was mentioned above, qualifications in any state are valid throughout Austria.
The other way to go might be to do BASI level 2, which seems to be acceptable as well (see the messages from beanie1 and flangesax).

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

cico92, don't forget that you will need a good level in German to do the course. There are written tests only in German (although one is in English). All teaching/learning is expected to be done in German
