"Our son has just retuned to UK, he had a fantastic time with you in Queenstown, and has a ski instructor offer waiting for him !! Many thanks for everything"
"just to say a massive thank you for a brilliant 11 weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed it and you organised the whole course fantastically, keeping us on the straight and narrow with all our skier anaysis and lesson planning, so it wasn't a last minute panic before the exams. Saying I'm a snowsports instructor rather than an accountant has a much better effect on people!!!"
"I first came out there and my goals and reasons for attending the course were to improve my personal skiing and have a season on snow. Because of the enthusiasm, passion, humour and professionalism that you all exuded, I too became passionate about achieving the required grade to gain the Stage 1 qualification. I’m glad that I managed to scrape through. It has been a life changing experience and I hope that I can now go on and try and use the qualification somewhere in the Northern hemisphere this coming season. Thank you for your dedication in helping us all to try and get the NZSIA Level 2."
"The best thing of the course is how much you care about us improving our skiing and passing the exam. Regarding the cost, I thought at the beginning that it was expensive but now after the course I think the cost is OK"
"Queenstown rocks!"
"All the best for the future and thank you once again for a brilliant course."
"I thought the course was excellently run - the accommodation, on snow training, night sessions everything"
“I had the wickedest, grooviest and funkiest time I could have hoped for – you guys did everything perfectly”
“Queenstown – more buzzing than the average bee! I don’t reckon you could place a course like this, in a better setting”
“Coronet Peak is an excellent place to train. Top notch stuff”
“The course has been excellent. I felt very well prepared for the exam. I’ve had lots of fun”
“Thanks very much for a wonderful three months. The course was spot on and tuition first-rate. I think we were all as prepared as we could have been for the exam."
"I thought the course went really well. I thought the accommodation was good. I liked the way it was 3 days a week that gave us plenty of time to go over the stuff we needed to personally concentrate on."
"Yeah it seems expensive when you first see it but I am sure you have compared it to other courses available in Europe and it's good value compared to that."
"I also think that it would be a good idea to emphasize the benefit of NZSIA Level 1 and Level 2 compared to say stage 1 in Canada (ski le gap) because that differentiates you from them well."
