Interski Schools & Colleges - Interski is the market leader in ski and snowboard packages to the Aosta Valley, Italy and the resorts of Courmayeur, Pila and La Thuile     The Interski Scholarship - an excellent opportunity for gifted youngsters    


Each winter, Interski instructors are on
the look out for talented youngsters. Their
brief is to assess performance, personality
and adaptability and, where these criteria
are met, supply our Snowsport School
Manager with a video and/or a written
report on the students in question.
Approximately 20-25 of these (mostly)
16-18 year olds are then invited to a day's
intensive training in the UK in July where
they will touch upon many of the elements
which make up the content of a ski
instructor examination and where they will
be assessed on their ability to both
understand and perform to an acceptable
level within these areas. Trainers will
review notes and video footage taken on
the day to draw up a final shortlist of 10
gifted scholars.

  The lucky 10 students will benefit from:

 * A BASI Trainee Instructor course
    (Foundation) in Italy in January 2008 with a
    national trainer
 * A further two weeks BASI nstructor Training
