esf Academy

 The duties of ski instructors and ski school directors have become more complex as the esf have developed: profession, digital, customer relationship, school organization, tax regulations... So many points for which instructors and management teams can count on the support of the Syndicat national des moniteurs du ski français (SNMSF)


esf Academy's mission is to support esf instructors and directors in the many facets of their job.
esf Academy is a skills center for esf instructors that focuses on coordinating all existing support actions and thus offers calibrated and adapted training programs with qualified instructors.

With the objective of proximity, esf Academy travels to the various mountain ranges in France so that those who are farthest away can also benefit from these training courses.

For more information on esf Academy training courses, contact your esf manager.
