Job Description

Getting you started on a successful ski or snowboard instructor career is what Rookies is all about! And helping you find a snowboard or ski instructor job when you get your instructing qualification is an important part of the Rookie experience.

If you are serious about a skiing or snowboard career within the Snowsports industry, then Rookies can offer you a serious career advantage – our years of experience, advice, up to date knowledge of the industry and contacts are just the start. We personally work with each interested Rookie through the process towards placing them in an instructor’s job.

Snowsports schools worldwide are looking at recruit Rookie graduates, if you want a ski or snowboard career that can take you to some of the best ski resorts in the world, join us to gain your international ski or snowboard instructor qualification.

Handy Hints :

- Decided you want to start your teaching career straight after your course finishes and in a country where you are not a citizen, you will need a Working Visa for that country. We recommend that you start organising it now, as having your own work permit greatly increases your employment options.
- Being dual qualified in skiing and snowboarding is a big asset, especially if you’re a snowboarder. ..Most Snowsports schools will employ a snowboarder with a basic ski qualification (or intermediate level of skiing) before someone with just a snowboard qualification.
- Set up a good resume / C.V with 2 references and photo, this along with the Rookie Academy’s thumps up and we are there. Remember it is always the Snowsports school final decision. Also having a secondary skill i.e. bartending, waiter, massage therapist, personal trainer etc are great for part time work in your first season.

What sets us apart

INSTRUCTOR TRAINING SINCE‘92

Rookie Trainers are hand picked and our courses designed to help you get the most out of your time at the Academy. These practical, industry driven courses cover a comprehensive range of technical skills and teaching techniques.

At the Academy expect to:

• Ski or board a lot! Rookies typically clock up 150,000 vertical meters of skiing over a 9 to 10 week course
• Learn the art of movement analysis and develop your eye for spotting good and bad technique in yourself and your students
• Improve your physical and snow-specific fitness and learn how to protect your most valuable asset (your body) by keeping yourself in the best physical condition for your on-snow career
• Develop your own network of snow-professionals as you become part of the Rookie Alumni
• A season in a true ski town

We earned and build our international reputation by producing a consistently high standard of instructors. Our record is unrivalled and every season we aim to keep it that way by bringing back the best instructors and developing our courses to be the most practical, in-depth and industry-appealing on the planet.

The Rookie Academy is just that ... an Academy dedicated to the craft of ski and snowboard instructing. The Rookie Academy is run by and filled with people for whom skiing and boarding is a life’s work.
