Why train with Base Camp?

 

Choosing an adventure sports course with Base Camp is a life-changing decision. Whichever course you select, when you book with us, you have the guarantee that you’ll be taking part in one of the best instructor training programmes available.

 

With highly qualified, specialist instructors enlisted on every course, you’ll receive the ultimate training experience. You’ll notice a dramatic improvement in your style, performance and technique, and be in the ideal position to gain your internationally recognised qualification.

 

Including everything from teaching and technical skills, to work experience and group management – your course offers a full and varied programme that’s designed to increase your skill base to the maximum. You’ll begin to excel in many areas of your sport – such as perfecting your slalom – as you see your technique and your confidence grow every day.

 

You’ll train in a small group, giving you extensive opportunities for one on one sessions with your instructor. Watching your progress on video and taking part in individual formal feedback discussions with your instructor will help you to track your progress and identify areas for you to focus on.

 

Our courses are designed to be comprehensive, and so we include additional training courses – such as first aid, avalanche and mountain safety, plus equipment and tuning sessions – to improve your mountain safety and enhance your all-round knowledge of the sport.

 

And while the training aspect of your course is crucial, we’re also about having a lot of fun too – both during and after training. Enjoy taking part in our exciting trips and activities, then recharge your batteries in your clean, comfortable and central accommodation, and once your energy’s back – venture out into the resort for some serious partying!
