5 Week Intensive Level 1 and Level 2 Ski Instructor Course
Our shortest and most intensive course, you will need to be a bit more of an experienced skier to take part.
If you are worried about your ski level or if you have more time check out our 10 week ski course, 8 week ski course and 5 week Level 1 only ski course.
SITCo's intensive 5 week ski course will really challenge you to improve you skiing and work hard to gain your qualifications. The 5 week intensive program gives you the chance to come down to Queenstown, New Zealand and train hard over a short period of time.
On successful completion of the 5 week intensive ski course you will train for the NZSIA Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications.
Our program is designed to be ran over a very short period of time, and therefore the work load and intensity will go up.

What can I expect on my Ski Instructor Course?
You can expect to be involved in a ski training program that will be a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work. You will have a lot of challenges to over come. But by the end of the 5 weeks you will be a much better skier than you can ever imagine, with the skills and the knowledge to go out and work as ski instructor, or to ski with family and friends with a solid understanding of what makes good skiing.
You will be training on snow 4 days a week sometimes more, and then we will expect you to be practicing what you have learnt at least another two days a week. On top of that there will be video analysis session in the evenings and every week there will be at least one evening theory session indoors.
