CSA Staff Academy

The constant advancement, professional training and ongoing professional development of our staff is very close to our hearts. It is important to us that the strengths and talents of every single member are encouraged. We set ourselves shared goals to be a successful and modern skiing school. On this basis, we opened the CSA Staff Academy in 2013. Adapted training opportunities, modern tools for analysis and training plans for the development of technique in all types of ski-sports offer our staff a fantastic grounding.

CSA Talks // Ski instructor training in Obertauern Part 1 (german)

Every week 2 to 3 free trainings for all CSA employees performed by our best CSA trainers.

With our CSA training system, we have already supported many of our employees and thus made the successful completion of further education possible. Many of our employees are now also very successful in other areas and have successfully completed the Austrian Diploma in Ski Instructor Training with the support of this training.

We are particularly proud of the national and international successes of our team, especially the CSA Ladies Demo Team "Blueberries", the European Championships 2018, ISIA-VIZE World Champions and European Champions 2017 in formation driving and bronze medal winners at the European Championships in Formation Skiing 2015.

Achieving success together

Working as a team at the CSA Grillitsch Skiing School

Many members of staff at our skiing school have already completed the State ski-instructor’s diploma and have witnessed enormous development. We naturally want to support this and encourage success in various types of winter sport.

At the CSA Silvia Grillitsch Skiing School, a large team of experienced ski-instructors awaits our employees, as well as mountain and ski-guides, who will gladly pass on their well-established expertise.

Improving your skiing technique with CSA video-coaching

Using a tablet, we record motion sequences on skis and snowboards and then analyse the techniques with the help of a drawing tool. Any wrong posture or poor control of the skis can immediately be identified and worked on when played back in slow motion.

In this way, we effectively and professionally improve the technique of each individual.
