A BRIEF INSIGHT INTO OUR POST COURSE SUPPORT SERVICE
100% of our clients who look for work as an instructor after completing our course are successful in their application. However, contrary to popular belief not all of our clients want to go on and become an instructor. 50% become instructors, while others either use their qualification for a limited period, later in life or simply just enjoy being a better skier. We receive lots of great feedback about past seasonaires. It seems those who have taken on the mantle of instructor are doing a fantastic job as a result of their NONSTOP training...
I just wanted to let you know that I am extremely impressed with the quality of instructors that the NONSTOP program has produced. The ski pros that I have been able to recruit from your program have delivered exceptional customer service, demonstrated a solid technical and teaching background and most importantly have shown what great people skills they have. I would strongly recommend other Ski School Directors to look at the NONSTOP program for recruiting efforts and would be more then happy to review applications from graduates of your program.
Mike Manara, Mt. Washington Ski School Director, BC.
Some of the locations our past clients are working in this season are:
• Fernie • Whistler • Banff • Lake Tahoe • Copper Mountain • Lake Louise • Mammoth
• Silver Star • Mt Washington • Cyprus Mt • Sunshine • Vermont • Utah
But don’t be fooled into thinking that the CASI/CSIA qualifications only allow you to teach in Canada or the US either. Most of our seasonaires just love the deep powder and un-crowded pistes so much that they are converts to this part of the world for life. However past clients have also worked in:
• Australia • Andorra • Italy • New Zealand
• Spain • South Africa • Switzerland • UK dry slopes/snow domes
Just as we can’t guarantee anyone will pass their level 1 or 2 we also can’t guarantee employment or offer a so called ‘recruitment service’. Ski school Directors are looking for outgoing instructors with plenty of drive and enthusiasm. They want you to be banging their door down in your eagerness to put your new found skills to the test so for a training company to play an intermediary roll would actually do more harm then good. That said we are here to impart all our knowledge on finding work and our pros are always happy to provide glowing references. Aside from the expert training and infectious passion passed on by our instructors out in Canada, another reason our seasonaires are so successful in finding work is the help and advice given in the NONSTOP booklet, ‘Working as an Instructor’. Only available to past and present clients this 45 page advice pack is choc full of valuable info, including…
