The Level 2 ski instructor certification is for any skier that has passed the Level 1 certification and want to achieve a higher CSIA certification. Having a level 2 qualification allows you to teach more experienced skiers and is recognised as a global qualification.

Similar to the level 1, the course is separated between teaching and skiing. This course helps ski instructors improve their teaching and skiing skills, as well as obtaining a better understanding of the CSIA technique and methodology.

Over the 5 days you will receive coaching on your skiing, teaching and people skills. The course not only improves your skiing ability but also includes:

• Strategies for effective communication, group dynamics, lesson planning and alternate teaching methods.
• Development and improvement of parallel skiers.
• Developing strategies for effective analysis and development.
• On-line workshops on guest service and teaching children.

I've passed, who can I teach?

The successful candidate is certified to teach intermediate to advanced skiers.

How long is the exam and is it stressful?

The exam is set over 5 days, is fun, a little bit more intense than level 1 but is made enjoyable and set in a relaxed atmosphere. Again, just breath in that mountain air! You will be assessed throughout the duration of the 5 day exam.

Where could I work?

Head back to Canada, or to New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Japan and European Alps or even South America, as long as you have obtained the correct visa.
