The Fastrack programme is conceived and co-ordinated by the Instructor Academy. The Fastrack programme has been extremely successful for many seasons and now enjoys the support and enthusiasm of all our associates in Andorra and Canada.
The mission is to take a good parallel Skier at the start and certify him or her as a qualified CASI Level 2 Extended qualified Instructor at the end of the course – creating a more rounded, balanced and confident individual.

This is more than just a ‘gap’ course – this is intended as a lifestyle changing experience including learning or improving language skills to enable work in a dual language ski school. Regular Ski School shadowing and clinics are included and Alternative Disciplines will also form an important part of the syllabus.
The weeks will be packed with innovative and challenging activities.
