Ski Technician Training Programmes
We offer training courses for individuals wanting to learn about looking after their own equipment through to ski technicians wanting to work in resort or retail environments.
Our ski and snowboard technician courses come in a variety of flavours, and can be fully customised to suit the requirements of an individual or employer.
If you are intending to look after your own equipment or take more of an interest in what is under your feet our Individual course will be ideal. For those wanting full training in preparation for working in a winter sports environment, then our certificated course is for you. These can also be combined with our boot technician and custom footbed technician courses for the ultimate training programme.
