A1: |
The average salary of a ski instructor in his first year is approx. 1000,- Euro nett. - which is not bad for the kind of work you do. On average a ski instructor works 6 hours a day, 6 days a week.
The accomodation is provided by ski schools. It is normally very basic but very affordable and in a convenient location in the resort. Some ski schools charge next to nothing for accomodation, other approx. 200,– Euro a month. It all depends on where you want to work.

Q5: |
What is the qualification we receive?
Would we be able to work anywhere in Europe or the world?
Or is it only recognised within Austria?
top
|
|
A5: |
The Austrian basic qualification (Anwärter) is probably globally the most recognized. But you of course increase your chance of receiving a job abroad with each next level qualification. Once you have reached the 'ISIA' level (International Ski Instructors Association; second qualification/third level) you will most likely have no problems working anywhere worldwide. If you are confident enough with your skiing abilities, you can already take the second level qualification at the end of your first season.
