We have trained more than 3,000 instructors during this time. This course is designed for ski instructors ready to take the next step in their careers by becoming trainers within the industry.
What Makes Our Course Unique?
Unlike traditional training providers, our Rookies Trainer Pathway goes beyond certification levels to focus on what comes next. We offer a unique training experience for instructors who aspire to become trainers at ski schools and certification organisations worldwide.
Our programme is built on the values of fun, curiosity, kindness, respect, and achievement. We hold all our Rookies accountable to these values, believing that inclusivity is key to developing the next generation of world-class trainers.
You will be up-skilled in modern teaching and training techniques that support your development and prepare you to work as a trainer anywhere in the world. Our approach is purposeful and evidence-based, focusing on skill acquisition, accurate biomechanics, physics, and inspiration. This makes the Rookies Trainer Pathway the most supportive option for instructors aiming to become trainers.
This is the first programme of its kind—offering a specialised pathway to becoming a top-tier ski school trainer.
