Why you should become an Austrian qualified instructor..

An increasing number of people from all over the world go to the Alps to celebrate the holidays. This means that the group of not just English speaking instructors, but also Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese or any language has to grow along. That is where you come in. Comparing the Austrian system to qualification systems elsewhere is somewhat the same as comparing apples and oranges. To make it easier we compare them based on the final goal: working as a ski instructor in Austria (the Austrian qualifications are recognized all over the world).

Time

The Austrian Anwärter course alone takes 10 days. If you are able to go down a red slope comfortably, you can pass the Anwärter course. Snowsports Instructor added another 10 days to the Anwärter course to get you ready for the German language. These 10 days focus on all the important parts of the Anwärter in your own language. This extra time gives you the chance to train goal-oriented for the Anwärter exams.

The maximum length of the Anwärter courses we offer is 20 days, while an average Level 1 & 2 course takes about 8 to 12 weeks. Meaning, less time for your adventure as an actual instructor.

Skills

For being an independent ski instructor or snowboard instructor in Austria, by law, you must have an Anwärter or any ISIA level 2 qualification. The Austrian Anwärter has its focus on you as a person and how to educate. This way you can guarantee an amazing experience for your guests. While working for a ski school you can improve your skills together with your colleagues after work hours. Most ski schools organise a (two)weekly training for all their instructors.

When you start working as an ISIA level 2 instructor, you have had months of training already. The level 1 and level 2 ISIA certified courses focus on your own skills as a skier or snowboarder. In the course itself there is not much focus on didactics. Your guests will learn from you by copying your example. Not by your instructions.

100% Job Guarantee

For Austrian ski schools, it goes without saying that you need to be qualified before you are allowed to work independently as a ski instructor or snowboard instructor. Both the ISIA level 2 and Anwärter qualifications are recognized. However, most Austrian ski schools require you to speak German. Most ski school owners want to speak to you over the phone or face to face before hiring you.

Our Anwärter course comes with an Online German Course. This way you can practise before, during and even after the course. Secondly, we added a 10-day pre-course to the Austrian Anwärter. After our Anwärter course, you are able to speak a decent amount of German. For snowboarding, we help you with finding a job. For ski instructors, we give a 100% job guarantee after passing our Anwärter course!

I Love Snowsports
