Best thing I’ve ever done
December 15, 2023by: Allie Burke - United StatesProgram: Become a Ski Instructor in New Zealand - Training IncludedThis program was the most rewarding, fulfilling, and enjoyable thing I’ve ever done in my life. From the day, I landed in New Zealand to the day that I left, everyone was welcoming, helpful and encouraging. I went through training with a group of other young adults who were super friendly and cool, and then we all got jobs together as ski instructors. We became really close over the course of the season, and I still consider them to be some of my closest friends. I never would have been able to move across the world and pursue this dream of mine, had it not been for EA. I never would’ve met some of my favorite people, never would’ve gotten to experience the tight-knit community on the mountain, and never would’ve experienced the personal growth and development that have made me who I am today. I always recommend this program to everyone I talk to and, if I could, I’d do it all again.

Hi Allie, thank you for making us smile with your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the program and have formed lasting friendships with other participants. Your journey of personal growth and development is inspiring, we're honoured to have helped you follow your dreams. We can’t thank you enough for encouraging others to experience this opportunity too. -The EA Team.

a season full of great SKI VIBES
December 14, 2023by: Stefanie Stuessi - SwitzerlandProgram: Become a Ski Instructor in New Zealand - Training IncludedI had the best time in Queenstown! I met so many new friends from around the world, we had great night outs and so much fun. We had an well organized training and already signed up for a next winter season.

Thanks for joining EA for an epic season in Queenstown Stefanie! It’s very exciting to hear that you are pursuing another winter, we look forward to watching the continuation of your snow sports pursuits. -The EA Team

They changed location and course then kept $5000
June 10, 2021by: Mark Robinson - AustraliaProgram: Become a Ski Instructor in New Zealand - Training IncludedI booked Internship plus Queenstown 2021 in Feb 2020, paid $5000 au deposit. In March 2021 EA contacted us stating they would not be running the course at Queenstown, we had to attend Mt Hutt, and only the internship was on offer not the plus program. This was unacceptable so we tried to get a refund. The small print states EA can change ski resort and not offer the course you paid for. So they filled our spot and kept our $5000 dollars. Be very careful giving these guy your money.

Thank you for your review and feedback. It is unfortunate that our Internship Program could not run in Queenstown this winter. Everyone affected has been offered the option of transferring to an alternative location in New Zealand this winter. Also - under our Covid-19 deferral policy we have offered a free deferral to a future season or program in New Zealand or any of our international locations.<br/> <br/>In general this has been well received but we appreciate that you feel we are taking a tough line by sticking to our terms and conditions. Covid-19 has caused significant disruption to our business. Our deferral policy was developed to provide as much flexibility as possible while still allowing us the ability to operate with certainty going forward.
