Testimonials

"This program was perfect for me because I felt secure and comfortable whilst being able to have fun on and off the slopes.  I had the freedom and more fun without the worry of finding a job that wasn't secure!  (oh..and other programs don't have the cool kiwis!)"

Laura Seward - United Kingdom

"The program was an awesome experience. I learnt so much during my course and met heaps of awesome people. Now I am a level one certified snowboard instructor! I am so glad I took this opportunity; it has been amazing and an experience I would recommend to anyone with a passion for the snow!"

Olivia Munro - New Zealand

"Falling behind in mortgage repayments? Poor credit rating? Run away and leave your country! Go to Tahoe and become a ski instructor. Side effects may include but not limited to having a great time and becoming a PSIA certified ski instructor. Ace!"

Elliot Husband-Powton - Scotland

"One full on experience! They give you a hot condo with a bunch of others participants, introduce you to some of Lake Tahoe’s top instructors and then once you’ve got your level one you get to spend the season working for one of Tahoe’s top ski resorts. The full Educating Adventures team helped with anything; from advice on equipment and finding housing to assistance with extending your visa so you can spend another six months in the USA. Fully recommended!"

"What can I say? Best time of my life, awesome training, made a brilliant group of mates that I will keep for life."

David McGahan – New Zealand

"The program I went through was EA Ski & Snowboard Training Instructor Internship. They run programs in Lake Tahoe and Whistler. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s organized, fun and apart from having a 98% pass rate in 2008, the people you will meet are great fun! I feared spending my 3 weeks of training with stereotypical public school kids but actually everyone was incredibly laid back, genuine, friendly, funny and nobody took themselves too seriously! This course made me more independant than school ever did. And being a member meant I was entitled to pro pricing and discounts on equipment everywhere I went. It is also the only gap year company I know of that guarantees you paid work after you complete the course.
Joining Educating Adventures was to be the start of the most exciting time of my life so far."

James Bailey - United Kingdom

"I first heard about the program through my school. I contacted Educating Adventures and it was all go from there. The training was in depth and I learnt a lot. I didn’t have much experience skiing but it didn’t hold me back at all. The program as a whole was extremely fun and a perfect school leavers experience. Lake Tahoe is a beautiful destination and if you’re a snow freak there is no better place to go."
