Ski le Gap
Welcome to the original Gap Year ski and snowboard instructor's course. Since we started in 1994 over 1,500 students have qualified as professional ski instructors or snowboard instructors.
There are any number of things you could do on your Gap Year. In our experience most people want to do something meaningful, have a very different sort of life experience, see a different culture, make a network of new life-long friends who have shared the same experiences, have some fun into the bargain and be left with a load of things to remember it all by.
If this is what you're looking for then Ski Le Gap ticks all the boxes:
It's meaningful -
You'll learn how to teach skiing, get a qualification that will stay with you for life, work with children, and in doing so learn things about yourself you never thought were possible.
It's a very different experience -
You may have spent years in an academic environment but learning a physical skill to a high level, and then learning in turn the skills required to teach and coach others is a completely different world and a discipline that will last for life. In particular you'll learn how to become a better communicator, both with the people you teach and the people around you.
Whether you join us for the one month Intensive Course, or the three months Ultimate Experience you'll go home a different person, with a professional qualification under your belt, and an incredible selection of memories. Many Ski le Gappers claim their weeks spent here are truly the time of their lives - who are we to disagree?
