Alpine Ski Instructor Level 3 Course

Info

The Alpine Ski Instructor Level 3 course equips instructors to work with students of all skill levels across a variety of conditions. Depending on the training location and prevailing conditions, participants will practice skiing in diverse snow conditions and on challenging slopes. Key themes of the training include the comprehensive development of personal skiing skills, the refinement of technical analysis abilities, and the application of various teaching and skill-building methods in diverse—including challenging—environments. Furthermore, the course addresses strategies for managing difficult instructional scenarios. The objective is for participants to acquire the necessary skills and competencies to ski and teach effectively on steep or icy slopes, in soft snow, on moderate moguls, on accessible giant slalom-style courses, and on basic terrain park features. The course also explores current trends in the field, such as themes from Interski congresses and the technical framework developed by Ski Sport Finland. Additionally, the course enhances the instructor's capacity to teach in English across a range of conditions and instructional settings.
