Thirteen Week Snowboard Instructor Course
If Carlsberg made instructor courses…they would base it on the SnowSkool thirteen-week Banff snowboard instructor course! The most popular of the most popular of the most popular! SnowSkool has been operating snowboard instructor courses in Banff since 2004 and we employ many of the same snowboard instructors today that we employed all those years ago. Why mess with success?!?
All snowboard instructors assigned to teach the SnowSkool snowboard instructor course are either seasoned CASI Level 3 snowboard instructors or CASI Level 4 snowboard instructors. And, given that you will spend 25 hours per week under their supervision, we are confident of maintaining our 100% pass rate for the CASI Level 1 snowboard instructor qualification.
Although you will spend most of your time snowboarding, students of the Banff snowboard instructor course will soon learn that there is even more to life than ripping up the slopes. Banff is the ideal location for a SnowSkool snowboard instructor course and SnowSkool posts a number of reps in Banff to ensure that all students make the most of their time in Banff. Off-slope activities include: trips to the hot springs, basketball and football tournaments, jam sessions in the on-site pub, fancy dress parties, ice-hockey matches, quiz nights, DVD nights, ice-climbing, bar crawls, bingo bowling, casino nights and much, much more.
