Course Description: The Landesskilehrer 2 (level 3 part 2) course is the final stage of the level 3 ski instructor education and builds on the Landesskilehrer 1 (level 3 part 1) course. It deepens your skills within the Austrian ski teaching system and prepares you specifically for the final commission exam.

The focus is on further developing your personal skiing performance, refining technique both on and off-piste, and race training. In addition, your methodological and theoretical competencies are expanded, enabling you to teach advanced skiers confidently, in a structured manner, and at a high level.

The course concludes with a practical and theoretical examination, including a teaching demonstration, and represents the completion of the Landesskilehrer - level 3 education.

Schedule: between 9 am and 3 pm practical education on snow. The theory lessons will take place in the afternoon and/or evenings.

The practical and theoretical exams will take place on the last 2 days of the course (last minute alterations to the examination schedule could be possible due to unforeseen weather conditions).

E-Learning Platform & Snowsports Academy Pro App: Before the start of the education, you will receive access to the digital learning environment of the Snowsports Academy.

E-Learning Platform:
Here you will find all relevant course content – from theoretical materials and curricula to videos and learning modules. This allows you to prepare optimally for the education and exams and to study content flexibly.

Snowsports Academy Pro App:
The app accompanies you throughout the entire education and on your further path as a ski instructor. It provides you with access to training content, organizational information, the digital ski instructor ID, as well as communication options with instructors and participants. You can download the app from both the App Store and the Google Play Store.

Recognition: Austria is divided into several federal states, each has its own law for ski schools, which can be different in the regulations. Despite these differences of the state laws, there is an agreement between the regional associations of the federal states that allows the recognition of Austrian educations in German language in all federal states. Therefore, the German courses and examinations of the Viennese Ski and Snowboard Instructor Association - Snowsports Academy are recognized in all Austrian federal states and also many countries worldwide.

​Examinations in English: The Snowsports Academy is the only association in Austria that offers educations and exams in both German and English. It is important to note that some Austrian federal states require appropriate German language skills to work as a snowsports instructor, and employment in these regions is only possible after passing a German exam. Therefore, we recommend taking the exam in German if you wish to work in Austria. Otherwise, an international certificate from the Snowsports Academy can be issued, which is recognized in many countries but not in all regions of Austria.

Career & job opportunities: Via the platform Snowsports Connect, you get access to international job opportunities and can contact ski schools directly. Many participants find their first job shortly after the education – both in Austria and worldwide.
