James Kingscote

Certificate in Ski & Snowboard Instruction

Skiing has always been a passion of James Kingscote and the 16 week programme at CPIT offered the formal training and internationally recognised qualification that he was after.


James is currently working as a Ski instructor in the United States. He worked the 2005 winter season at Treble Cone Skifield in Wanaka following a season as an instructor at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah.


"In terms of the CPIT programme, I really enjoyed the one-on-one and group training sessions; they definitely helped me to become a better skier.


"The trainers were great, they have years of experience and are New Zealand examiners so they are able to prepare you really well for your exams. Their teaching style was really friendly and relaxed."


"If anyone was thinking of doing the same course at CPIT and asked me for advice I would tell them to get out there, enjoy everything you do, stay positive and have a good time!
