Why the LPT?

Congratulations on achieving your Level 3 or Level 4 certification. If you are looking to expand your role within your ski school beyond teaching, or if you have considered becoming an instructor trainer, this is the natural next step. Many instructors also ask how to get involved in examining Level 1 courses — the LPT is the pathway that opens those doors.

This course is designed to support your continued growth in the industry. Take on the next challenge.

Exam Breakdown

The course includes a three-day LPT pre course, followed by a two-day Licensed Professional Trainer (LPT) exam.

Rookies Training

Looking to further enhance your preparation, optional Rookies Elite Camps at Rusutsu Resort are on offer where you can dive into high-performance training in advanced skiing techniques and training strategies. These three-day camps are the perfect opportunity to fine-tune your skills before the LPT.

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 in ski schools and certification organisations worldwide.

You will be upskilled in modern teaching methodologies, training approaches, skill acquisition principles, accurate biomechanics, and the relevant physics that underpin great skiing.
