Sale Sold out

This five-week course is the first of its kind—offering a dual certification pathway through both PSIC (Canada) and PSIE (Europe). Successfully passing your Level 3 exam in either alliance means you’ll also receive recognition in the other, giving you unmatched versatility and global recognition as an instructor.

Phase 1 – PSIC/PSIE Pre-Course (Six Days)

We begin with six focused days of training to kickstart your Level 3 journey. This foundational block is designed to develop your technical understanding and begin aligning your performance with the Level 3 standards in both the PSIC and PSIE systems.

Phase 2 – Elite Camp (Two Weeks)

This elite training phase is built to test and develop your adaptability across all terrain and conditions at Treble Cone. With guidance from a select group of Rookie Academy specialist trainers, you’ll be encouraged to ski outside the box and push your limits. The expectation? You need to ski to a Level 3 standard—even on your worst day.

Phase 3 – Final Development and Exam Preparation (Two Weeks)

The final two weeks focus on sharpening your technical and teaching skills. You’ll learn how to deliver outstanding lessons, adapt to a variety of learning styles, and perform with precision under pressure. This final stretch prepares you to succeed in the three-day PSIC Level 3 exam—and walk away with dual recognition under both PSIC and PSIE.

Join us at Rookie Academy and train toward one of the most progressive and globally recognised ski instructor certifications in the industry.

Great skiing, made easy.
