Our Level 3 & 4 Work & Train Programme is designed to help you pass your exams and become the most skilful skier that you can be.
We also have amazing job opportunities, including teaching for Element Ski School.
We’ve really developed the course over the last few years creating a structured and successful programme that’s designed to prepare instructors to pass their ISIA & ISTD qualifications.
It’s an intense and demanding programme, but it’s also proven to be extremely effective helping instructors achieve their goals.
We’ve designed the course for serious skiers who are striving to pass their next level. Our training is open to instructors from any system – this is fundamentally a technical skiing programme to help you develop your skills and your understanding of performance skiing.
The courses are targeted towards instructors who are committed to moving up through the system and are serious about a career in skiing.
So if you’re determined to take your skiing to the next level and if you’re ready to train hard to get there, then we’d love have you in our awesome team.
YOUR COACHING TEAM
We’ve put together a team who can deliver the best possible coaching to prepare you for your exams.
Rob, Murray & Tori – who are all BASI Trainers – are the perfect team to help you achieve your goals on the mountain. Plus, we have other BASI Trainer guest coaches who drop in to deliver training and help bring different voices to your training.
All our coaches are hugely experienced and when that’s combined with a motivated and tight-knit training team, the results are really impressive – which explains our amazing pass rates last winter for both Level 3 & 4.
If you’d like to have a chat and see our training programme for the season then just get in touch.
All our Concept applications go through Emma – who is yet another BASI Trainer in the team helping make sure the training group fits together perfectly.

AMAZING WORK OPPORTUNITIES
If you are interested in teaching while you train, then we have great opportunities with Element Ski School and other partners in resort – and beyond.
If you teach for Element you could expect between 100 and 300 hours of work that fits around your training. It’s vital to get the right balance though, and getting this right is the key to success in your exams.
If you have a British passport you should still get in touch – a trade deal is being negotiated between Switzerland and the UK that could allow people to work in Switzerland again.
If you don’t get a work permit you can either apply for a Student Permit to stay the whole season and train, or we have a partnership with a ski school in Aosta, just over the Italian border, offering up to 80 days work throughout the season.
Importantly, our training programmes allow us to talent-spot – so we might well be able to offer you a full-time position in the Element Team.
