What Our Ski Instructors Say
Real voices from graduates who have walked the same path as you.
I completed my ski instructor training with DSLV and reached Level 3 (ISIA mark) there. Since I've been working in Saas-Fee for years, I converted to SSBS to obtain the patent and the risk activities permit. What I like about SSBS is that the customer is at the center. All facets of learning are included to achieve the greatest possible progress within a course.
Ellen A.
Ski Instructor, Saas-Fee
I learned to ski about five to six years ago. Last year I started the ski instructor training with the SSBS association in the Lenzerheide region. The training week with the experts before the season starts and the internal trainings with our instructor during the season are positively intense experiences. I like the philosophy of the association and the way we are supposed to teach as instructors at the ski school. I find the SSBS teaching materials about skiing with its various chapters particularly valuable.
