This unique ski gap course allows you to get full training prior to the start of the 09/10 winter with the option of gaining the full BASI Level 2 ski instructor licence. Successful candidates on completion of their BASI Ski Instructor qualification are then free to source work in a resort for the whole winter.

What level skier do you need to be?
Your entry level to the course depends on a number of factors so it's always best to contact us direct to discuss your level.
As a rough guideline to reach the required level within the 8 weeks before arriving you need:
• to be able to ski all pisted runs competently and at a good speed.
• to be able to ski the fall line on black runs.
• to be reasonably fit.
• to have a good mental attitude.
• to be willing to try new things and take on board new information.

Roughly a minimum of 10 weeks previous skiing is a pre-requisite but this can vary. It is really very individual.
