Why choose

BASI Level 1 & 2 Gap Course in Verbier

Most gap courses focus on passing exams.
This one focuses on building real ski instructors.

Mentorship That Accelerates Progress
Get continuous guidance from experienced coaches who support your skiing, teaching, and long-term career development.

Coaching That Goes Beyond Exams
Structured, BASI-aligned training designed not just to pass Level 1 & 2, but to set you up for long-term success.

Consistent, High-Level Support
Regular feedback, video analysis, and clear progression planning so you always know how to improve.

Off-Snow Development
Workshops, movement analysis sessions, and exam prep give you an edge most courses don’t offer.

A Better Gap Year Experience
More than just skiing, build real connections through team activities, mountain experiences, and a balanced social environment.

Accommodation & Visa Support

Relocating to Verbier can be challenging, we help make it simple.

We assist all trainees in finding suitable accommodation, whether that’s shared housing, staff accommodation, or private options.

For non-EU passport holders, we support student visa applications, so you can enjoy the whole season.

Career Opportunities

For trainees with EU passports or existing rights to work in Switzerland, strong performance throughout the programme may lead to employment opportunities with Pulse Snowsports. While employment is never guaranteed, we actively support high-performing trainees who demonstrate professionalism, strong skiing, teaching potential, and a positive attitude.
