Taking it to the next level – Gap years and ski instructor courses seem to have had a lot of attention over the past few years and this type of course is underestimated time and again by onlookers deeming that the courses would simply be based around teaching beginners and that’s it! Well, here is a newsflash from the professionals standing at the very top, delivering ski instructor training courses and exams all year round.

International Qualifications

The successful outcome of most GAP ski instructor courses take candidates through 2 professional, internationally recognised levels of qualification. Qualifications are governed by national governing bodies so must adhere to strict levels of performance. The courses are designed to be able to take a good recreational skier and turn them into a professional, this means building a professional level of understanding of the sport of skiing, a professional level of skiing ability, and a professional level of teaching skills.
