For over a decade the Cardrona ski and snowboard Instructor Training Centre has helped hundreds of aspiring instructors complete ski and snowboard certifications from the NZSIA and SBINZ, leading to fantastic international snowsport instructing careers.

Ski and Snowboard Instructor Training with the Best

We are Cardrona’s snowsport's school! We're not a separate training programme, contracting to a mountain. As a result our trainees get valuable extras that are only possible because our programmes are an integral part of the ski resort. Think lift-line privileges, real life lesson shadowing experience, realistic job opportunities, and your own on-mountain locker!

But that's not all... ITC trainees get to ski and ride with some of the best Trainers in NZ. Our training team is made up of current NZSIA and SBINZ Examiners - that's the guys who will be delivery the actual qualifications themselves. And we ONLY train for NZSIA and SBINZ certifications, so our programmes are 100% focused on the internationally recognised NZ system.

Home Ground Advantage

Cardrona IS the best ski and snowboard instructor training ground in NZ. Why? Because it has the best teaching terrain and the widest range of on-snow facilities in NZ. Terrain parks, GS courses, 2 half pipes (including the latest 22ft internationally renowned super pipe), long groomers, challenging off-piste... the list goes on.

But the main reason why Cardrona is the perfect training ground for aspiring NZSIA and SBINZ instructors is that Cardrona is where the exams themselves are held. Every year Cardrona hosts the largest Level Two ski and snowboard instructor certifications in the country.
