SAS INTERNSHIP SCHEME
The SAS internship scheme which has been subsidised by our partner ski schools is the ideal course for those looking at qualifying for the PSIA L1 and then working for the rest of the season as a ski instructor.
The Internship Scheme will be split into two parts:
- November to December 2010 train and qualify for the PSIA level 1
- January to April 2011 PAID work as a ski instructor with our partner ski schools
Over the 4 week course the SAS coaches provide a constant personal development ski and teaching programme which covers all modules and every aspect of the PSIA Level 1 syllabus and training for the PSIA Level 2. This will include teaching sessions, shadowing, steeps, bumps, piste and off piste performance.
We have two ski schools on offer for students to work at post qualification:
Haut-Lac ski school provide unique, high-quality winter ski programmes and fully supervised on and off evening leisure programmes for school groups of varying ages and abilities. Whilst teaching, you will be in charge of your own group (including adults and students) for the 6 day period; this will be the perfect opportunity to gain some valuable teaching experience, (150hrs required for the PSIA L2 instructor course) improving the students knowledge, skills, and technique whilst getting paid throughout the week! It will be your responsibility to assess the students throughout the week for the Snowsport Snowlife Awards with a timed slalom race and prize presentation to conclude the week.
