Aim to Become an Instructor

As part of the NSSA mission to increase participation across snowsports in general through involvement with schools, the last year saw us partner with IASI to introduce the Level One Alpine Instructor Qualification from 15 years old. This has been a great success and we have helped 30 children onto the alpine instructor pathway.

Building on this, we recently introduced, again with IASI, the assistant instructor course which is available to 14 year olds and is a 2 day course taking place at various centres in the UK.

We also offer the opportunity, from 15, to qualify as a coach with the UK Coaching Pathway with the Alpine Foundation Coach course, for those with more interest in race coaching.

These are great opportunities for those who have taken part in snowsports through their school, to use the skills and experience in a positive way to give further options….whether this is to work at a local snow sports centre to earn extra money through university or college or the first step in a snow sports career!

This year also saw us return to publishing Schools Snowsports Magazine after a years absence and this years edition can be found here.
