Ski / Snowboard Australia : HOW TO GET STARTED

To become a ski instructor in Australia, you typically need to follow these steps:

 

1. Obtain certification: You must obtain a certification from the Australian Professional Snowsport Instructor (APSI) organization or the New Zealand Snowsports Instructors Alliance (NZSIA). These certifications are recognized throughout the world and will allow you to teach skiing in various countries.

 

2. Meet the requirements: You must meet the minimum age requirements set by the ski resort and the APSI or NZSIA. You should also have a good level of fitness and skiing ability.

 

3. Gain experience: You need to gain experience by working as an instructor or taking courses offered by ski schools. This will help you improve your skills and prepare you for teaching others.

 

4. Apply for a job: Once you have the certification and experience, you can apply for a job as a ski instructor at a ski resort in Australia. Ski resorts typically have a hiring process that involves submitting a resume and going through an interview.

 

5. Get a visa: If you are not an Australian citizen or resident, you will need to obtain a visa that allows you to work in Australia. You can check the Australian Department of Home Affairs website for more information on the visa application process.

 

Overall, becoming a ski instructor in Australia requires a combination of certification, experience, and a strong work ethic. It can be a rewarding and exciting career for those who love skiing and teaching others. This is just a general guide and it is essential to do your own research before beginning your activities or training
