This type of course is great fun, yet is intense. Whilst attending the 10 week course you are based for 100% of the time in a snowsport environment. The intention is for all students to be immersed in the culture and way of life of a snowsport instructor and to be totally focused on the outcome. Previous course students have found that training in such an environment, and living and 'working' with fellow students creates a unique atmosphere and develops the focus and motivation required of this course. It's also recognised that, 10 weeks spent in the unique approach and professional environment of the course, helps to develop personal confidence, independence and individuality. |

Our package price is the cheapest out there. We have stripped the course cost down so you pay just for the essentials. Most companies make extra out of candidates paying for food options etc. With us you have the option to either cook or eat out at one of many cheap resturants in town. By doing this we can keep the cost to you down. Saving you money right from the start. Our essentials price includes all accommodation for the 10 weeks, lift pass, all training and course fees, school shadowing experience. Another unique feature to our course is that it also includes a First Aid course, Snowboard Tech repair course and the new compulsory Child Protection Course. A must for ALL instructors and all included in the fee. But by far the best thing about this course in Bansko is it is so cheap to live and you’re not spending 5 euros a beer like in many other European resorts. In fact you'll spend about £1 at the most expensive bar in town. |
