Podium really made its name by being the most complete and comprehensive race training solution for instructors wishing to pass their Eurotest. For surpassing what was seen as a formidable test for ski instructors, often without any race experience, Podium put the blocks in place to equip them with everything they needed to know to tackle this test and succeed. Between 2001 and 2020 Podium helped over 160 ski instructors pass their Eurotest as well as a number to pass the Test Technique slalom test.
We developed special foundation courses to help people make the step from recreational skiing to racing gates prioritising easier terrain, easier sets and easier skis and then we gave them the skills and ability to move into the more demanding arena of GS and slalom skiing on full FIS sets.
With timed training, lectures after skiing as well as fitness sessions we provided the full 360 degree package to make people arrive at their test with confidence knowing what to expect and what they needed to do.
Then Brexit happened…
However, the need to pass the ISIA exam for many instructors as well as the possibility of the Eurotest pathway re-igniting means that we will still offer camps for those looking for training. We will look to run a camp in November and at different times in the year pending demand.
