Gear up for your Austrian Winter Adventure with Our Online German Camps!
What better way to prepare for your Austrian winter adventure than by honing your German language skills before your course begins!
This summer, we’re bringing our tailored German Language Camps online, giving you the perfect opportunity to enhance your language skills in the lead-up to our autumn and winter courses.
We understand that learning a second language can be challenging!
That’s why we take a unique, fun, and interactive approach to teaching German. Our methods are designed to maximise your learning and build your confidence, all in small classes with fellow course participants.
Developing a basic understanding of the German language, along with the confidence and vocabulary to converse with guests, employers, and colleagues, is a key goal for many of our participants. By joining our German Language Camps, you’ll gain a head start on learning the exam-relevant theory content, meeting fellow SIA participants, and becoming a valuable asset to your ski school. This preparation will result in a more enriching and successful season experience!
Jumpstart your winter adventure and become a standout instructor with our engaging and effective language camps. Sign up today and elevate your season experience!

The Dual Course was awesome. I made some great friends, great memories and had the best winter ever. I earned a fantastic qualification which I used all season teaching skiing and snowboarding in Austria and I have used it to teach in California too! The ski schools really do value the teaching skills and training you receive from Ski Instructor Academy
The coaches and examiners are second to none, offering the best advice and guidance (special shout outs to Jamie, Anne and Martin!) And to top it all off, I am now a Landes 1 Lehrer! If you are looking to be a ski instructor, choose SIA!
I had the BEST time of my life becoming an instructor with SIA!! Didn’t know how to ski when I got there, had the strongest passion imaginable for skiing six weeks later!!
The course was outstanding, the teaching level was unbeatable, the location was superb and the instructors and people that are part of the SIA team are remarkable… I wish I could do it all over again!
