Give yourself the greatest chance of achieving level 3 by taking part in a level 3 ski instructor internship in Canada.

You’ll have a guaranteed ski instructor job and pre-arranged staff accommodation at one of the greatest resorts in North America, Sun Peaks. With over 4250 acres of skiable area and top-level sports school, Sun Peaks has terrain and CSIA level 4 coaches perfect for reaching CSIA level 3.

Our CSIA level 3 ski instructor internship is an full-season programme designed for ski instructors already qualified to level 2 in an ISIA recognised body.

Successful applicants will become a member of the full time snow-sports team at Sun Peaks from November and in mid-February will join the 6-week level 3 ski instructor course. Level 3 training is taken by CSIA level 3 course examiners, and there is still the option to work on weekends. Interns are mentored all season with regular sessions at ski school.

To be eligible for this internship you must have the right to work in Canada or be able to get your own working visa. If you are between 18 and 30 you can apply for a holiday working visa, a visa specialist is available to assist with work permit applications.
