Ski & Snowboard Instructor Courses - Canada

Product Details

Ski le Gap is the original and the best ski and snowboard instructor course.

Ski le Gap provides the opportunity to gain practical qualifications in Canada whilst experiencing a new culture and learning a second language. We have constantly improved and extended our programmes to always offer the ultimate experience, both in quality instruction and pure fun! And because we were the first, any other course is just a copy!

Our students have the time of their lives - you can see it on their faces. It’s because our track record of over 12 years running these programmes means we know how to create the perfect experience; the best instructors in the world, unbeatable gap year fun, a personal touch with loads of TLC and a close community of great people.

The 1,500 smiling faces of our past students are our biggest reward, and your guarantee of an ultimate gap year experience!

Ultimate Experience: An unbeatable package...

Accommodation is campus-style with three main residential blocks – all within a short walk of the restaurant. Our chef, Normand, who has over 10 years experience catering for young people, cooks everything from full breakfasts, legendary dinners and amazing theme nights!

Ski le Gap sets the standards. Ski le Gap has been honoured with both the 'Prix d’Or' and the prestigious 'Grand Prix' Québec business awards. For the past eight years, Ski le Gap has been recognised by the Canadian association for Disabled Skiing for ‘exemplary caring, support and initiative’.

The village of Mont-Tremblant is a world-class resort – packed with bars, cafés, cinemas and clubs.
Voted the number one resort in Eastern North America for the past five years, Mont-Tremblant also hosts regular international ski and snowboard events.

After completing this course, qualified skiers have taught at ski schools in Europe (Italy, Austria, and…
yes, even France) Australia, Canada and the USA.
