If you are worried about your riding level or if you have more time check out our 10 week snowboard course, 8 week snowboard course and 5 week Level 1 only snowboard course.
SITCo's intensive 5 week snowboard course will really challenge you to improve you riding 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.

What can I expect on my Snowboard Instructor Course?
You can expect to be involved in a snowboard 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 rider than you can ever imagine, with the skills and the knowledge to go out and work as snowboard instructor, or to snowboard with family and friends with a solid understanding of what makes good snowboarding.
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.
