Arrival and departure: The journey from and to the course location and from the hotel to the ski resort has to be organised by the participants themselves. 

Schedule: between 9am and 3pm practical training on snow. The theory lessons will take place in the hotel in the afternoon and/or evenings.

The practical and theoretical exams will take place on the last 2 days of the course (last minute alterations to the examination schedule could be possible due to unforeseen weather conditions).

Recognition: Austria is divided into several federal states, each has its own law for ski schools, which can be different in the regulations. Despite these differences of the state laws, there is an agreement between the regional associations of the federal states that allows the recognition of Austrian educations in German language in all federal states. Therefore, the German courses and examinations of the Viennese Ski and Snowboard Instructor Association - Snowsports Academy are recognized in all Austrian federal states.

​Examinations in English: The Snowsports Academy is the only association in Austria that offers educations and exams in both German and English. It is important to note that some Austrian federal states require appropriate German language skills to work as a snowsports instructor, and employment in these regions is only possible after passing a German exam. Therefore, we recommend taking the exam in German if you wish to work in Austria. Otherwise, only an international certificate from the Snowsports Academy can be issued, which is recognized in many countries but not in all regions of Austria.

Terms of payment: A deposit of 20% of the total price has to be paid at the time of registration. The remaining balance has to be paid at least 20 days before the beginning of the course, there will not be a payment reminder to do so. For those who register on a course less than 20 days before the course begins, the total price is due immediately.

Cancellation insurance: In the event of non-attendance or early termination of the course — whether before the course begins or during the course — our participation and cancellation terms and conditions apply. In such cases, no refund of the course fee is possible.

By taking out cancellation insurance, the financial risk of illness- or injury-related non-attendance or early termination can be covered.

Further details and information on the scope of cancellation insurance can be found in the “Participation and Cancellation Terms” or at: https://service.europaeische.at/doc/en/Information_document_CompleteCover-IPID-KS_2021-EN-001.pdf

Accident insurance: It is possible to take out accident insurance (including helicopter rescue coverage) for € 28. This is expressly recommended by us.

Please note that this is not a cancellation or course interruption insurance. The accident insurance covers accident-related benefits only (e.g., rescue and recovery costs). Illness-related non-attendance or early termination of the course is not covered.

Please also note that a training course falls under the category of a “professional event,” which may result in limited or excluded coverage under certain other insurance policies.

Further details and information regarding the scope of the accident insurance can be found in the “Participation and Cancellation Terms.”

Disclaimer: Neither the organizer nor the instructors, trainers, responsible persons, guides, except caused deliberately or due to gross negligence, guarentee for accidents and damages to people or things who originate to the participant or third parties.

Registration deadline / Minimum number of participants: Upon reaching the maximum number of participants, the deadline for registration can be brought forward. If there are fewer than 8 applications for this course, the organiser reserves the right to cancel the course.
