  • LEVEL 3

    Verbier BASI Level 3 Training

    ISIA Work & Train Programme

    Based in our new St Anton ski school, this course is designed for BASI 2 instructors who want to work for New Generation as they train towards Level 3. The school is staffed by instructors from a variety of ski systems to provide a deeper understanding of skiing for trainees.

  • LEVEL 4

    Verbier ISTD Training Team

    Our Verbier ski school was built around this team. Under the direction of BASI Trainers, a focused group of trainees whose aim is to complete their Level 4 qualification. Passing is the main focus for every team member.

    Full Certification Programme

    A season-long work and train programme for anyone who is qualified to ISIA level in any ski instructor qualification system. 150 hours of training from guest coaches in a variety of systems.

Beyond Level 4

What happens once you’re qualified?

Upon successful completion of your Level 4, the world is very much your oyster. Finding week paid work across the world will be quite easy and your certificate will make the process of gaining visas a lot easier. We would love for you to join one of our full time teams across the Alps but you will not be tied into any contract to do so if you train with us.

For many instructors reaching BASI 4 is not enough. Whether you wish to become a BASI Trainer yourself or open your own ski school we have the support and courses in place to help you acheive your goals.
