One of the big benefits of training in Japan is that you'll gain instructor qualifications recognised by the International Ski Instructors Association (ISIA). The ISIA is the world body for professional ski instructors which means you will be able to work at other world-class ski resorts across the globe.

On a typical training day, you'll wake up early and hit the slopes with your group. You'll practice proper skiing techniques on a variety of terrain and master your skills. After a lunch break, you'll be back out on the slopes for a few hours before heading indoors to discuss instructing techniques in preparation for your exam.
On a typical working day, lessons will start at 9am. You may have two or three lessons a day teaching people of all different skill levels. Working hours will depend on the specific job, but it will usually be a 3-6-day work week. As you become more qualified and gain more experience you'll start to build your own clientele which can also boost your pay rates as well.
The ski industry is fun, social and friendly. It's likely your calendar will be brimming with social events - from after-work drinks and dinners to weekend ski missions. Japanese snow, adoringly known as Japow, can be deep, light and fluffy, remember to pack your powder skis. You’ll need them!
Other perks of working as a ski instructor include access to performance gear at affordable prices, employee lift passes, tips from clients, living with your best friends, ski-in, ski-out accommodation*, international travel opportunities, turning what you love into a career, and having the world's best office.
Our courses are open to any intermediate to advanced skiers but places are limited. We generally recommend that you apply as early as possible if you'd like your choice of resort.
