Our resort reps and are on-hand every day in resort and are extremely knowledgeable about the resort, qualifications and training. The key job for reps is to ensure participants have fun in a safe and supportive environment, following the pastoral care policy we have in place. 
Occasionally we do have to deal with accidents, injury or illness and in the event of this resort representatives are on-hand to support customers seek medical assistance, and liaise with the UK office and next of kin to ensure the best care possible is taken for the customer.

We are not insurance providers and cannot offer advice in relation to insurance packages, however we can point you in the direction of insurers who cover young people for ski and snowboard instructor courses. If you have an annual family travel insurance policy, it is unlikely to cover a trip longer than 30 days in length, so a dedicated single trip policy will be required. Check out our insurance page for discounts offered by some travel insurers.

Ski & Snowboard Instructor Course visas: 
Courses usually require a travel permit, the travel document (visa) required will depend on the participant’s citizenship. For example, a participant from the UK will not require a visa for a course in France or New Zealand, but will require an Electronic Travel Authorisation for a course in Canada. We will advise customers individually of the travel visa they will need to obtain to join a course.


Internship Visas: 
Interns will require a work permit for the country in which they will be employed. Most interns obtain a working holiday visa, which must be applied for by the individual. Applications for working holiday visas can be overwhelming and confusing, we aim to make this process as stress-free as possible and our experienced staff are on hand to support applicants. See our guide to working holiday visas for more information.
