It is commonly believed that becoming a French
ski instructor is a near impossible task for mere-mortal non-French nationals. For one thing, the language barrier can be an issue. But the
main problem is that navigating the French qualification system is incredibly
difficult. Its structure is very different to others around the world, with a
heavy focus on performance and high-level technique.
Aware of these problems, NONSTOP
Ski have launched a new
ski instructor course designed to help non-native skiers break into the
French market. In doing so, it is the first British company to offer such a
scheme. This 18-week intensive training course that will prepare you for
the first two training stages in the French system: the “Test Technique” and “Preformation”.
Most of the coaching
on the course is focused around developing all-terrain techniques, On and
Off-piste technical training and Slalom race techniques at the world famous
resort of Serre
Chevalier. All of these skills are assessed in the first stages of the
French system. The hope, though not a guarantee, is that by the end of the
course, participants will be qualified
as an instructor trainee. This permits the learner work at a ski school for
two years, whilst continuing on the road to becoming a fully qualified French
instructor.
