Become a Ski Instructor in Canada - Training + Job Included

I feel like I’ve been over charged for the experience I’ve got. I thought I would have 3 weeks of training before my exam and due to the winter being late this season I’ve lost money. I would love if some amount of that is refunded

EA thought of everything! From help with the visa process, with endless communication at all hours of the day, to social networking in the first few days of arriving. The reps are amazing and have the expertise and experience to guide and help you. If you want a change or routine and scenery, then this is the adventure for you.

I travelled to Canada with EA to work in Vancouver as a snowboard instructor in 2019. They were so helpful and brilliant with assisting organisation. Accommodation was good as everyone was together in a block of apartments so it created a great sense of community. We received really good training prior to the exams required to become an instructor, and everyone on the mountain was so accepting and helpful and kind! I would definitely recommend doing this if you’re even vaguely thinking about it, and I’d absolutely love to do it again if I had the time!

I had the best 6 months of my life so far in Canada with EA. It provides you with great development to your skiing as well as aiding you to become a confident instructor. Furthermore, I met some great friends whilst being away that I will have for life. Couldn’t, recommended more. It was quite pricey though.

My daughter set off for the EA Lake Louise internship program in November 2022 and she is having the time of her life. She was assigned her own contact, Kerie, in the run up to her trip who was very helpful with information regarding the whole process, visa applications and flights. The Level 1 training took only 2 weeks and she is already training for her Level 2. A job at the end of Level 1 training was guaranteed which is a huge bonus! The work/life balance is perfect and she is teaching a mixture of private lessons, and group lessons to adults and children. She is also able to work additional hours on the resort lifts. We have been to visit and met some of her new friends from all over the world. In addition to her skiing she is now proficient in snow boarding and ice skating. The area is breathtakingly beautiful. This is an opportunity that should not be missed. We are so happy for our daughter and very proud parents.

I’d always wanted to do a ski season but had never considered becoming an instructor as I didn’t think I was good enough. As soon as I heard you could get all the training you needed and a guaranteed job I was in! The whole process with EA was awesome, from speaking with their training consultants on the phone to finally arriving in Canada meeting the program reps and all the other interns. Almost instantly I had a massive group of new mates and over the course of the season we became a weirdly dysfunctional family! The training we received was incredible, i’d always thought I was a decent enough skier but the improvements we all made in just 3/4 weeks at the start (and over the course of the season) was insane! Would happily do this all again if I could!

A piece of advice, if like me you were looking into this program but not sure if you are gonna do it, just take the plunge and do it, you won't regret it! Cypress is a beautiful mountain with a huge variety of terrain and mountain views on one side, and ocean views on the other, truly no other resort is quite like it, as for EA, these guys are with you from start to finish, making sure you have visas, accommodation, orientations all set up on arrival, they give you everything you need and are willing to help out as much as they can I cannot recommend this program highly enough, it's incredible and if you can, you should do it
