Training only

What that means

You sort your own accommodation (we can help you with this) and come to us just for the training. No 4-star hotel or half-board in the price. What you do get is the same Level 4 coaching, video analysis and exam preparation as the full courses, just the training component, priced accordingly.

Over 15 years of ski instructor training in Kaprun. No drills for the sake of it. Max 6 per group. Focused on what the exam actually requires.

Frequently asked questions

BOOK NOW or talk to us today if you need more information

What’s the difference between the camps and the full courses?

The full courses (3, 5 and 7-week) include accommodation in a 4-star hotel, half-board meals, a lift pass, and guaranteed job placement at the end of it. The camps are training only, same Level 4 coaching and video analysis, without the accommodation package. If you need accommodation included, the full courses are the better option.

do i need to sort out my own accommodation?

Yes, however, we can support you with accommodation and help you geting the right accommodation for you. We work together with several accommodation partners.

Do I need to sort my own lift pass?

Yes, lift passes for the Kitzsteinhorn are purchased separately. Cold Candy can advise you if needed on the best option to buy.

What about transfers?

If you need a transfer to Kaprun, we can help you organise the best way to get here. Just get in touch with us. We can organise a private taxi, shared transfer or public transport.

Can I do more than one camp level?

Yes. If you’re working through the Austrian pathway, you can do consecutive camps. Get in touch to discuss timing.

Can I take the exam in English?

Yes. The Austrian ski instructor exam is available in English or German at all levels.

What happens after you qualify?

Cold Candy’s guaranteed job placement connects you with ski schools across Austria, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Argentina and the USA. Your Austrian Anwärter is recognised at all of them. Expect around €800–€1,000/month in Austria as a starting point, plus accommodation and lift pass typically arranged by the ski school.

Can I take the Austrian ski instructor exam in English?

Yes. The exam is available in English or German, you choose. Most Austrian qualification courses assume a working level of German; Cold Candy’s doesn’t.

What level of skiing do I need?

You need to be a competent, confident all-mountain skier, comfortable on red and black runs in varied conditions. You don’t need racing or freestyle experience, but you should be able to ski any piste comfortably before you arrive.

Which course length should I choose?

The 5-week course is the most popular, enough time to get properly prepared for the exam without rushing. The 3-week course suits people who are already skiing at a very high level. The 7-week course gives the deepest preparation and also includes Landes 1 (Level 3 Part 1), putting you ahead of the field when ski schools are hiring. See our full course comparison for a detailed breakdown.

Can I join on my own?

Most people do. Small groups mean you actually meet the people you train with, by the end of the first week, everyone has made friends for life!
