2009-10 Winter Season Instructor Training College
We will be holding our Instructor Training College (ITC) and Hiring Clinic two different times this year. The first session will be November 14th and 15th. The second session will be December 12th and 13th. If we are able to offer you a position It is important that you be able to attend all of the Mandatory training and orientation sessions outline below. It is also important that the training sessions correspond with the session you choose for your ITC.
Schedule:
• Meet at 8am each day in the Bruno’s room in the Wy’East Day Lodge. Please allow enough time to travel to the mountain. Come prepared for both indoor and on-snow sessions.
• If you have current certification with PSIA or AASI (or the equivalent) in any division please contact us for an interview. Interviews will take place on the first day of each ITC. After the interview and a riding evaluation It may not be necessary for you to attend our intire hiring event – you will have to attend all new-hire training dates.
The ITC/Hiring event is designed to introduce you to the basic concepts of teaching snowsports and will give you a greater understanding of the business and professional side of the craft. In addition to information specific to being an instructor, you will also have the opportunity to develop your own riding or skiing skills. We look forward to your participation.
The two day ITC program will include overviews of:
• PSIA/AASI (Professional Ski Instructors of America/ American Association of Snowboard Instructors)
• Core Concepts including the Teaching Model & Guest Service Model
• Skills Concept and the Common Movements
• Children’s CAP Model
• Personal skiing/snowboarding skill development
We will provide:
• Lift tickets
• Coaching
• Indoor presentations
**We recommend you bring your own lunch.
