Thanks for the video Annabel , a happy stumble across you channel on CZcams has put my mind at ease, I'm off to Canada to start my snowboard instructor journey and this has put me at ease.
Hey Annabel, thank you for sharing this! I am 30 y/o, have been working in another market for years where I finished my education and etc, but now, thinking about my next adventure and WORK LIFE BALANCE (34+) I am really going for the Instructor and Patrol career at the Outdoors. So watching this kind of content makes me happy and it`s pretty much fun. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great time out there ;)
Hey I loved your video! It was very helpful... I need to work on my German!
Great video, im looking at doing a season in andorra 🇦🇩
Great Video, thank you
Glad it helped :)
Just stumbled across this video. I've actually just started my own instructor qualifications. I'm in quite a different position to you, 30 and a qualified accountant, but just love skiing I want to make it my career.
Interesting to see what the Austrian qualification entailed, i've chosen the Irish, IASI, have passed the Level 1 course, just need to do my first aid and shadowing hours, and plan to do level 2 in December.
glad to see I'm not the only one , I'm off to Canada as a 30 year old in 3 weeks to do my lvl 1 instead of working my job as an IT manager
@@makoli13 best of luck for the course, sure you'll love it!
Hey Chris , are you doing your qualifications in kilternan ?
@@colinpugh8990 I did my Level 1 in Hemel Hempstead snow centre
@@chrishicks1191 ah got ya, congrats 👏🏻 best of luck with the rest of your training
Hi Annabel, thanks for sharing! Do you know how transferrable the SBSSV is to other countries? Thanks :)
One can transfer... but you normally have to re-take the qualification level you are at on the new system so it can be expensive. For example I have the SBSSV anwärter but could go do my BASI 2 (without doing the level 1). Hope that helps :)
Hi Anna (or anyone reading this that did a summer course), how are the snow conditions in summer because i want to do anwärter after my graduation. but that is in summer
I did mine in July and it was absolutely fine for what is required for anwarter...!
my dream is ski forever getting a job in the south emishpere and then in the north, but i have never get a job in new zealand or australia, cardrona every season reject me xD
Great video!!
How much have you paid for the all qualifications you did?
Thank you 😊
Hello, it will vary a lot depending on what exam board you choose to qualify with, where you do it and where you choose to stay through it. Going onto the Basi or SBSSV websites they provide all the cost information.

Thank for that. Appreciate it!!
Hey Annabel, it's Floss. We met at the ski show when you asked a question to the stage. How are you getting on?
Hey, that's amazing! I'm doing great thanks. Hope you are good too!
Loved this video, how long around would you say it takes from signing up-getting first job. I’m 19 and will be in a ski area next year
Heya, so it really depends, on what course you sign up for and when the course is, for example if you do the SBSSV system in Austria and do the course in December you will be assigned a ski school/ be expected to have already found a job for the rest of that season. Hope that helps :)
I live in the uk and want to become a instructor. I have been skiing once and I don’t know how I can practice before I apply because I don’t have much money what can I do
You could book yourself a few lessons on a dry slope or in a ski dome, however, this can be quite expensive. Most instructor qualifications offer an optional training week prior to any exams that you could sign yourself onto. Also go check out @johncollinson on Instagram, he's a sick skier but has also just launched an 8 week workout program called 'SkierFit' which will "build strength, endurance, and coordination for the slopes this winter."
Does anyone have info about the French system? I'm looking to become a snowboard instructor in France but have had a really hard time gathering information regarding it. Would really appreciate some insight
France doesn't have a separate track for snowboarding. You need to become a ski instructor and snowboarding is an option of that. France will recognize (with reluctance) non French snowboarding certification. You need to be L4 to teach in France unless you are classed as a trainee.
@@davidzof thank you! yeah unfortunately ive heard non french certs wouldnt be accepted, but i was wondering about how to start from the ground up in here (france), if you know anything let me know!
One late question 😀. Do you have to buy the ski suit from the skicours.
No you don't! All uniform is provided, however you will need your own skis/ boots etc. :)
Where do you live when working as a ski instructor?
Does the company you are working for help with that?
What is the cost of that?
😃
Heya Carl, with my ski school we were provided instructor accommodation that was basically a house with bunk rooms for £10 a night that came out of our salary. I know with other ski schools though you'd be provided fully catered accommodation.... Really just depends on who you work for but they will almost always help you (and if they don't... go work somewhere else)!
