Ski Instructor Programs
The YES Professional Ski Instructor Course is the ultimate program for anyone looking to get the most out of their time in Whistler. We have spent the last few years listening to our graduates’ feedback and we have built the next generation of ski courses!
Program Overview
So you already have your CSIA Level 1 or international equivalent? And you want to go for the CSIA Level 2? Well you can with YES.
You will improve your skiing, teaching and people skills with the goal of reaching the Level 2 standard. You will also receive suggestions and strategies for your long-term development as a skier. At the end of the 3 week program you will take the CSIA Level 2 course and certification.
We recommend coming for 3 weeks to complete the training and examination but if your time is limited you may choose to come for 2 weeks – talk to us to understand whether that will work for you.
We can also put together a custom schedule for you if you can’t do all 3 weeks in one block – for example do 1 or 2 weeks of ski improvement early in the season, then come back later in the winter to do the exam prep and certification.
- Week 1 – Ski Improvement – find those ski legs again
- Week 2 – Level 2 training and prep week
- Week 3 – CSIA Level 2 exam
Here’s What’s Included:

EXAMS, MANUALS + MEMBERSHIPS
How good a skier do I have to be?
You must have passed the CSIA Level 1 certification (or international equivalent) to be able to join this program.
