Hi, great video! I was wondering since I’m about to study and move to Vienna for uni this year, do you know if it would be possible for me to be a snowboard instructor only on the weekends as a part time job?
Hey!! Thank you☺️ Yes I could definitely be possible however I think it would be a bit hard to find work.. that’s all. Most ski schools prefer instructors to stay for a longer time. But most ski schools are in desperate need during holidays so that would definitely be an option 😊
Hi I hope to work as a ski instructor in my gap year I have a few questions.if you want to work in France do you have to be fluent or just pretty able to speak the language also for living situations what’s the deal about food and would the flight tickets be included or would i have to pay for tickets and everything
Hey!! They do not provide anything except ski pass and uniform the rest you will need to fix. It would definitely be a big bonus to know the language but not always a must. It depends on the ski school.
Hey Sunny! I've been contemplating becoming a snowboard instructor for a while now. I'll turn 20 this October, and I've been snowboarding since I was 6. I believe I have a strong grasp of the sport, and the idea of turning my passion into a job excites me beyond measure. However, I could use some guidance on finding the right winter school. Do you have any recommendations? Also, will I need to undergo any training before I'm eligible to teach the sport? If you have any winter school recommendations, please provide them below. Thanks a lot !
Hey! How amazing - being able to snowboarding and earn money is definitely something I would recommend. You will need to be certified to get a qualification to work as an instructor. There’s heaps of different school you can apply on. I did the shortest course, lasting only 10 days. If you are not as skilled you can so courses up to 3 months.
Do they have instructing levels in Austria? In other countries eg canadia it is the csia levels. What level of experience did you have when you started working?
There are three levels in Austria. Anwärter, Landeslehrer and Staatlich geprüfter Skilehrer. With Anwärter you are allowed to do anything on-piste but are only trained to do (if I recall correctly) up until early parallel turns. Landeslehrer allows you to go a little off piste (not like a mountain guide tho) and you are trained also for higher level skiing/instructing. At least when I did my Anwärter training about 20 years ago, it was so easy that pretty much anyone could make it. If you are sporty you could probably do it in the first winter that you are ever on skis (at least for snowboard Anwärter I heard that some actually first started snowboarding in their Anwärter course - for ski Landeslehrer you need to do at least snowboard Anwärter and vice versa). Landeslehrer is very tough and there is an entry test that (if I recall correctly) about 50 percent fail.
That’s sums it up really well! Thank you for taking the time to write it all ⭐️ with my anwärter course we had to take three different exams and I believe 70% passed all of them 😄
Hey Lucas! Thanks. I would recommend the alps more specifically Austria. Nice people, they speak English (but good to know a bit German) and good skiing conditions. Best of luck ☺️
thx nice video, is there any chance to get know people during lesions? i mean is it a nice opportunity to, let's say so, 1 hour speeddating? so like tinder, or somwthing, could i finde a man there for my self?:DD

Hey!! which ski schools did you apply to ? how did you find them?
Hey!! I looked up different facebook groups for ski resorts in the alps. Definitely check that out.
