Below is a timetable of the course for the 4 Weeks you will be with us in Val d'Isere.

Week 1:

Shadowing week.

This week you will be gaining the required hours of shadowing needed to attend the BASI level 2 assessment. This is a hugely valuable week where you will gain real world experience of what it's like to teach skiing in a mountain environment. You and your fellow course members will join fully qualified Instructors with their ski school groups in Val d'Isere for the week and learn from them as they teach paying customers on their ski trips to Val d'Isere. This will add to the toll box of teaching skills you will need to successfully deliver your teaching sessions on your level 2 teaching assessment and experience you can take with you beyond the course into your own ski teaching career.

Here is a summary of what to expect this week:

• 35 hours of ski school experience
