EA Ski and Snowboard Training Avis 

Japan 2022/2023 Season with EA.
First of all very well managed throughout.
Everything was planned and prepared in advance so it was very easy and stress free.
Travelling across the world can be daunting, especially when you may not know anyone there. However EA take this into consideration and have an amazing guide waiting at the airport to welcome you in open arms.

All accommodation during the training & Exam period was taken care of and so was transport.

Your EA rep's are available most of the time (depending on the time difference) for a chat via message or call to answer any questions/queries or worries.

EA also provide a great way into your first season by organising with your Employer. They will then leave you to enjoy your season and make many memories. However they are always around to help.

PSA this is from my experience. Some details may be different depending on the course.

I have had a wonderful experience with EA. The program has allowed me to move across the world and become a ski instructor with a great support system. The friends I have met through the program are ones that I will keep for many more winter seasons to come and have been invaluable to making New Zealand feel like a new home.

I have to give a 4 star review because of the cost of the course. It is very expensive and becoming an instructor without it would be feasible and much less expensive. However, it is very nice to have everything organized and a guarantee of training, accommodation, community and a job. I moved very far from home so having this structure was very helpful for me.
I would think about wether you want to do more than 1 season before singing up for the EA course.
Overall, I have had a great experience and am loving life as a new ski instructor!

It was great to get us comfy with becoming an instructor but i believe that the course is too expensive and should cost a lot less.

Had an amazing experience in Canada working a season at Grouse Mountain.

EA made live very easy organizing all the admin and streamlining the whole season, and taking the uncertainty of finding a job and accomodations out of the process.

However, I can only give EA 3 stars as the course is so incredibly expensive, especially considering that if you are organized and proactive you could organize a visa, accomodations, training, exam, and job on your own without paying a company thousands of dollars to do all your admin.

Great way to break into the ski instructor industry!! The training was great fun and you meet some awesome people during it! It sets you up really well for the exam and the job offer afterwards is really important as most normal people can’t get an instructor job until they have a level 2 qualification so the EA program really helps get round that issue. Once you’re a qualified instructor there’s so much variation in the lesson you teach anyone from the age of 3 upwards and every lesson is different which always keeps it fun and interesting!

I found EA very helpful with making my move to Canada for my ski season run very smoothly. This included things like help to navigate the visa process, arranging appointments with the Canadian banks upon our arrival and more. It was also comforting to have accommodation recommended so that I would be living in a good location for my job as well as living with a lot of my colleagues who I really got on with and had a great time living with. Finally, the ski training we received before the CSIA exam was very enjoyable and help me to gain the skills necessary to become an instructor.

I've always wanted to work a ski season, and after seeing EA's Facebook ad, I knew this was it! By far the most reputable Instructor course program provider out there, EA definitely know what they are doing. They have a well-organised program, which I know is much better organised than some of the other course providers out there.
I personally did the Cypress Mountain Program in Canada, where there were over 30 other instructors on the same course!
It has honestly been the best experience of my life, and have now made friends for life all over the world.
Thanks to a good experience, I'm now coming back to Cypress next year!
Special thanks to my training consultant Ray, he answered all my questions and worries, and is always there to help at any stage during the process!

Coming from Australia the Snowsport industry is not the easiest to get into. EA Ski and Snowboard gave me the support and guidance I needed to join the 22/23 Castle Mountain program in Canada. It was an amazing experience that allowed me to grow my on-snow ability, have new experiences and met some amazing people along the way.

Even when issues popped up, they were supportive and there to help. So, if you are looking to become an instructor EA is the way to go!

Incredible experience, would recommend. EA helped me every step of the way - and the season was amazing. Made heaps of new friends around the World and have kept instructing.

I always wanted to become a snowboard instructor in Canada, EA helped me get there. With only a few months of experience, never having been overseas before, I was walked through the visa process arrival details. The snowboard training provided me with what I needed to pass the level 1 exam and to have instructor work straight away.

The program has been great. I've met a whole heap of new friends, and gained my Level 1 Ski instructor qualification. Everything was pretty easy, and EA explained things thorugh to me before signing up, and helped me pick the most suitable place to do my course. I ended up going to Banff and the season was amazing.

Awesome programme.

I've been dreaming about becoming a ski instructor for a long time. When I finished school, I got in touch with EA. My training consultant got me through the process comprehensively. I had a bit of an issue with my visa process but EA walked me through it.
Super clear communication, I'm stoked that I went with EA to get my qualifications in Canada.

Got me a foot in the door as an instructor!
