Level 2 Snowboard Instructor Course

Course Structure

The following table gives you and idea of what you'll be focusing on during this 6-week snowboard instructor course. Naturally our aim is to get you successfully through the level 2 assessment, but we also want to massively improve your own riding and have a lot of fun too.

Each week we will review one aspect of the Performance criteria for level 2 demonstration skills and teaching criteria. The level 2 assessment course will be held in the sixth week.
