Our courses in New Zealand provide training towards the New Zealand Snowsports Instructors Alliance “NZSIA” certified qualifications. There are again options to train up to Level 3 as well as compressed courses for experienced skiers wishing to reach L2 in the shortest period of time.

In Europe, our courses focus on the ‘BASI’ system which is The British Association of Snowsports Instructors. BASI is again part of the ISIA and recognised worldwide. It is also one of the few tickets that will let you enter the French system once qualified and having completed the speed test.
