A few more words about this course

Children and families form an enormous and vital part
of our industry.

They are, in simple terms, our bread and butter; they
enable us to be in the places we want to be, living the
lifestyle so many people aspire to.

We need to be equipped to do the best we can do for
them. Teaching children is a valued and skilled job.
Throughout this course you will learn about:

  • Our roles and responsibilities as ski instructors
  • How children develop
  • Teaching considerations for children of different ages
