What to expect on a Rookies course
-
Inspirational learning environment.
Safety, fun and achievement are the rules of the game - our trainers are the best in the business and are experts at creating a learning environment that will help you achieve your goals.
-
Skills based training.
Building skills and versatility is the foundation of our ski & snowboard instructor courses. We help you create an understanding of what the ideal is, which in turn helps identify what skills need developing and lastly we tactically apply these skills to a given situation. This on-snow training is backed up with off snow clinics and technical analysis sessions.
-
Training 20+hrs a week.
We train 4 days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Each training day consists of a morning session, lunch break and an afternoon session. Mornings tend to have a more technical focus with the afternoons being more about mileage and using awesome terrain to challenge your skills.
-
Passion for teaching.
At Rookies we’ve delivered over 29 years of superb ski training excellence and knowhow. Teaching is a skill you must master in its own right - any professional instructor must have a passion for teaching as much as they do for skiing or riding. At Rookies you will develop the essential skills required to become an inspirational instructor.
-
Self analysis.
Through a greater knowledge of the ideal skiing or riding technique and learning theory, your increased understanding of the sport will help you analyze your own performance. You’ll be able to continue your own improvement long after your course.
