We offer a range of different Snowboard instructor course options from 4 to 11 weeks to suit your timeframe, training and winter season goals. Our 4 - week snowboard instructor course prioritizes skill improvement and the level 1 snowboarding instructor qualification. Participants find themselves improving their snowboarding over 3 weeks of intensive practical training and then 1 week of an examination. The longer Snowboard instructor course includes more weeks on snow and as a result, more time and instruction for improvement. There are also further qualifications included such as first-aid, avalanche safety and also the level 2 snowboard instructors qualification.
A snowboard training course includes a full-season pass and also season long accommodation. Alongside this, participants are given the tools and experience needed to become a qualified snowboard instructor. This program is a perfect fit for people who want to advance their technical snowboarding and also gain the skills needed to teach. During the course, participants train four days a week in small groups of 6 - 8 people, receiving personal feedback throughout the course. You will train with other keen snowboarders around the globe making friends for life. Once you have passed your level 1 exams, you can either upgrade to a longer course and work towards your level 2 certification or enjoy some more freeriding before heading home with your shiny certificate in your hand. If you would like to work as an instructor the following Northern Hemisphere season, EA can provide you with a guaranteed instructor job offer.
