Three afternoons of coaching and filming for the GCSE PE skiing assessment. We aim for top marks, and for skiing that carries on long after school.
The footage we shoot is the evidence your child is graded on. The instructor coaches every skill to the exam board's criteria, films it on the spot and uploads it during the lesson. If a skill isn't clear on camera, we film it again there and then.
For AQA, OCR and Edexcel candidates assessed in skiing (not snowboarding). Tell us your exam board when you book, so we can prepare the right criteria.
€399
- 3 hours × 3 days
- Min 3, max 8
- Mon, Wed, Fri
Time is split between sharpening technique and filming the footage the exam board needs. We need three skiers to run a group, and it never goes over eight. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
-
Technique, coached to hit every exam board criterion.
-
Warm up, then filming.
-
Filming and the timed race.
What gets filmed.
It starts with a short ID clip: name, exam board, date and location. Then the two parts of the assessment.
We ask for control, decision making and consistency, not just speed. Ski to the brief and the marks follow.
Progressive drills, not full runs, each getting faster, steeper or more technical.
-
Basic turning
Parallel or carved, left and right, with rising speed or gradient.
-
Stopping
Parallel or skid stops to both sides, with a controlled finish.
-
Linked turns over distance
A continuous run mixing narrow and wide turns, rhythm held throughout.
-
Traversing
Both directions, at different angles and speeds, with clear edge control.
-
Skiing at speed
Slalom, tight turns or moguls. Clear line choice and control at pace.
-
Handling kit
Carrying skis, putting them on, herringbone and sidestep.
Two timed runs around poles or gates, the same setup each time, just like a race. These need a closed piste, which we only have when the race club is running, so we'll confirm whether your week includes them.
Where are they on the mountain?
Read down until something sounds like your child. If they're between two, pick the lower, we move kids up on day one when it's a clear fit.

The questions parents actually ask.
-
What ages do you take?
If they can walk, they can give it a go, though we wouldn't go below 3 in practice. Check kit sizes go small enough at our rental partners before you commit. -
How big are the groups?
Four max in Les P'tits (our 4–5 year olds), six max in everything else. We hold those numbers strictly, it's the whole point. -
Are helmets compulsory?
Yes, for every child on a course with us. Bring goggles and sunglasses too. -
What if my child isn't the right level?
We usually run several groups alongside so we can shuffle on day one. If that doesn't work, we offer the equivalent time as private lessons. -
Lift pass?
Not included, buy at the lift office or through your tour operator. Kids 5 and under ski free. -
Where do we drop off and pick up?
Meeting points are in our locations section, and we send full details with your booking. You'll have direct contact with the coordinator or coach. Lost? Ring +44 1483 616 522. -
Equipment hire?
We work with a few trusted local partners, see the Partners section, and you'll get a discount when you book through us. -
Do your coaches speak English?
Yes, they're either from the UK or fluent. -
Cancellation?
Give us a month's notice and you're 100% refunded. Inside a month, we issue lesson credit for you or a gifted family member to use later. -
What if the weather turns?
We run lessons in all weather. If the lifts and pistes are officially closed, we send a statement of fact you can take to your insurer.
