Requirements

Helmets are compulsory when participating in the ski and snowboard courses!

It makes the most sense to participate in further training in December but this is not a requirement. There you are prepared for the instructor training and meet the instructors in advance. Furthermore, you will see if your skiing or snowboarding skills are sufficient.
If you are unsure or just have additional questions, take a look at the SNOWSport Team website. You can meet other ski and snowboard instructors at the monthly regulars' table on the first Wednesday of the month. Just sign up for the SNOWSport Team mailing list to be kept updated.
