Learn to ride all the mountain and the park with style... and get yourself qualified as an instructor in 10 weeks...

You don't need to be an accomplished boarder to become a snowboard instructor. Ten weeks riding Treble Cone under the guidance of our trainers turns intermediate borders into instructors.

Why 10 weeks not the 8 week option?

Even if you are already an advanced border, there is nothing like a little more time on snow to really improve your skills.

If you can ride to a basic intermediate level, you can get yourself a SBINZ Level 2 instructor qualification with this 10 week snowboard instructor training course. 10 weeks enjoying Wanaka gives you time to cement the changes required to be successful in the exam.

You would suit this course if:

• You are a BASIC INTERMEDIATE or above rider.
• You are prepared to participate in a fun 10 week program with over 40 days (200+ hours) of on-snow training.
• If you want longer to prepare your technique and teaching for the SBINZ Level 2.
• You are looking to become a more confident rider on all terrain.
• You are wanting to go at a slow pace having more time to enjoy Wanaka and it’s surroundings.
