Apprentice Instructor Program

This program is a full-season commitment with 2 hours of on-snow training per week, 3 volunteer dates over the Winter holiday period, and one full-day volunteer shift on either a Saturday or Sunday for 9 weeks from January to mid-March. It will focus on improving your skiing or riding technique to meet CSIA/PSIC or CASI level 1 standards, along with your teaching and assessment skills to make you a better instructor. Program participants will have the opportunity to achieve their volunteer hours working with our Bear Cub (Age 4-7) programs on the weekends. This will allow program participants to learn from our snow pros in a real lesson environment. 

At the end of the program (or earlier, if you are ready), participants have the option of booking into a Level 1 ski or snowboard instructor course. This is a separate, optional component. Booking the L1 course is through the CSIA / PSIC / CASI.

Program prerequisites:

• Parallel skier OR strong linked snowboard turns.
• Enjoys being around children between the ages of 4-7.
• Interview with a member of the Snow School leadership team.
• Punctuality and good communication skills.

• Keen to spend time engaging and educating children.

   

On completion of the course (or earlier, if you are ready) you can choose to to sit your CSIA/PSIC or CASI Level 1, booked at your own expense.

Mt Seymour’s goal is to set up participants to sit and pass either their CSIA/PSIC or CASI L1 certification at the end of the program, should they choose to sit the exam. To pass, participants will need to attend the training and show progression in their skiing/riding & teaching skills.
