WHY US

Know why you should choose the Ski Instructor Academy

Best Value

Ski Instructor Academy offers one of the cheapest yet quality filled programmes on the market. Once you are on the course all expenses are included, except for lunch & drinks. We are one of the few companies that fills your week with intense tuition - 5 hours tuition 5 days per week on snow + theory and German lessons on most afternoons/evenings. So when the weekend comes around you are glad to enjoy your beautiful surroundings, be it on the mountain (lift pass also valid on weekends) or in the valley.

We conscientiously make our services affordable without compromising the quality.

Our Team – Experience and Expertise

Our team consists of highly qualified and experienced trainers. We are passionate about our work and proud of what we do – which is perfecting your skills on the mountain to get you to the next level, helping you succeed with the language and making you a great instructor. You will find that your trainers also become your mentor, adviser & friend. We don’t stop caring after the course – we give you all the help and consultation for as long as you need.

Qualification & guaranteed job

Not only will you gain one of the most recognized & respected basic qualifications that will be accepted worldwide, you are also making a worthwhile investment as the qualification lasts indefinitely.

But most importantly, we offer you an actual guaranteed paid job in an Austrian ski school at the end of the course.

Size matters

We are a small company based in the picturesque glacier resort of Kaprun, Austria. Because we guarantee a job at the end of the course we only have limited places available. This means we are not an assembly-line-like academy mass processing ongoing ski instructors. You have a name – not a number. We operate in a few small groups of max 6-7 persons in each group, which allows us to guarantee you individual attention.

The location

Kaprun is a snow safe resort thanks to its glacier. During the course a hospitable & cozy guesthouse in the center of the village will be in charge of your well-being.

Indulge in a new culture without having visa trouble. Austria is a stunning and beautiful country that has a lot to offer apart from skiing. Get to know the laid-back local life style, enjoy its breathtaking nature or live up to Austria’s famous après ski reputation.

The job

It thrills us to help introduce participants to a season of instructing that is so much more than a job – it’s a life style. To be out in the fresh air pursuing a passion and to get paid for this is a dream come true. Ski / snowboard instructing is an extremely rewarding and satisfying job that allows you to have so much fun, meet so many diverse people – it will not feel like work. And the fun does not stop after working hours…
