Snowboard Instructor Courses
- 10 weeks: For confident blue run riders. A SITCo. original course which uniquely combines snowboard training and an awesome New Zealand experience. Because the course is longer you'll have more time to become a stronger ridier overall, and more time to enjoy freestyle, freeride and all winter season experiences that Queenstown has to offer. You'll also have the opportunity to Heli-Board, a day you'll never forget!
On successful completion you'll have achieved SBINZ Levels 1 and 2. - 8 weeks: For confident blue run riders. An intensive version of the 10 week course. You will still be able to take part in a Heli-Board , but you might not have as much time for freestyle, freeride and you will be thrown in to the deep end a little more.
On successful completion you'll have achieved SBINZ Levels 1 and 2. - 5 weeks (Intensive Level 1 & 2): For riders comfortable on all groomed runs, off trail runs, and varied terrain. Highly intensive, and aimed at more confident snowboarders, this program throws you in at the deep end. It includes the Heli-Board as the only "extra".
On successful completion you'll have achieved SBINZ Levels 1 and 2. - 5 weeks (L1 only): For riders of all easy groomed terrain. This program is designed to give you the maximum improvement in a short period of time. Heli-Board day is an option.
On successful completion you'll have achieved SBINZ Level 1.
Further Training
If you are already a qualified snowboard instructor we can offer you further training, such as the Snowboard Level 3 Training Program, ISIA or other certification training, this is suitable for all people who wish to move on beyond the Level 2 qualification.
If you have the SBINZ, NZSIA, BASI, AASI or CASI Level 2 then you will be eligable for the Level 3 training.
