For the New Zealand snowboard instructor course, SnowSkool works with the Instructor Training Centre at Cardrona Alpine Resort. This specialist body had been training people to become snowboard instructors since 1996 and employs many of New Zealand’s most highly-qualified and experienced snowboard instructors to do the job. Most of these guys are Senior Examiners of the SBINZ. Indeed the Cardrona’s Instructor Training Centre boasts three-quarters of all the SBINZ Senior Examiners in New Zealand – so you know that your snowboard training is in good hands!
Your snowboard instructor course in New Zealand is very intense and will see you pushing your snowboarding skills to the limit. Technically and physically, this is a tough course but if you want to become a snowboard instructor with the SBINZ, you have to be an excellent, all-round snowboarder. The SBINZ has a reputation for producing excellent snowboard instructors and many graduates of the SnowSkool New Zealand snowboard instructor course can be found plying their trade in resorts throughout Canada, Europe, Japan and USA.
