All Mountain Pro (AMP)

What is AMP?

AMP (All Mountain Pro) is a certification course that enables participants to push their snowboarding to a new level. Coaching is focused on improving all mountain skills so that you can ride powder, trees, and piste, confidently do jumps and drops and fluidly ride a varied pitch with confidence and in style.  In essence, its the fun side of snowboarding! The AMP training programme provides a defined structure to train towards a set of goals, and at the end of the programme a snowboarding assessment tests your newly developed skills.

The AMP programme adds a huge value to the NONSTOP training programmes and has been massively popular with past participants on courses ranging from three to eleven weeks long.

AMP - on our 11-week Snowboard Instructor Course

We recognise that some people who choose an 11-week snowboard instructor course are unlikely to ever actually work as an instructor and are doing the course as a structured, enjoyable way of spending a season. Therefore we realise the importance of offering more than just instructor training. So for those who are more interested in their personal performance (as opposed to the CSIA level 2 qualification) the All Mountain Pro certification is the perfect solution. AMP offers a structured development programme with set standards and defined goals so that after the level 1 instructor exam (which everyone does and is held in the fifth week) you can make the most of the snow conditions while pushing your riding progression right through to the end of the course.

Skills You Will Learn

You will be taught different skills each week culminating in an assessment at the end of the course. The modules you will focus on and be assessed on are:

• Gladed tree run
• Controlled Air Time
• Linked Carving
