Become a qualified ski instructor & teach in the same season

Join our 4 week CSIA Level 1 ski instructor course in Whistler in November & then begin your pre-arranged job working for Whistler Kids - the Snow School for children at Whistler Blackcomb. On arrival in Vancouver you will be met by our experienced representative & given assistance with obtaining your SIN number & bank account.

The job is arranged before you leave home via interviews with Oyster & the employer. To be eligible, you need to be able to obtain a Canadian Working Holiday Permit, be a confident skier & have childcare experience with 3-11 year olds. 5 months in Whistler costs £4645.

My Unforgettable experience in the Canadian Mountains

May 21, 2025by: Aron Horemans - BelgiumProgram: Pre-arranged Jobs in Canadian Summer and Winter Resorts

During my gap year, I had the incredible opportunity to work abroad in the Canadian mountains. Surrounded by amazing landscapes I gained hands-on experience in a dynamic environment. Whether assisting guests at a ski resort or living in the mountains, I developed valuable skills in teamwork, adaptability, and communication. The process for applying for an internship was made really easy as I was offered all the help I needed. This experience helped me grow personally but also professionally and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about doing an internship abroad.
