10 week ultimate experience ski instructor course

Ski le Gap’s training program is continually being developed by Bruce Eaves, Ski le Gap’s snow director and CSIA Level 4 examiner. All our coaches are Level 4’s.

We have a maximum of 8 students in each class with the possibility of changing groups weekly, ensuring students remain in the group that best suits their ability. You will be allocated an instructor as a personal mentor who is responsible for providing extra support and guidance to ensure maximum progression.

This enhances the coaching process by providing invaluable personal analysis.
