Dear <<First Name>>

Here's a quick update on Nordic courses available in 2018/2019: Joining one of these courses is a great opportunity to learn huge amounts from our dynamic trainers, ski with a group of fellow enthusiasts and improve your capacity to help others get as much out of skiing as they can.
Browse all Nordic Courses here!

Booking a CPD

If you are trying to arrange a Nordic CPD  it is also worth checking the range of alternative options, e.g Intro to Telemark (for any member not holding a Telemark qualification). If you get prior agreement from the office that it will count, you can also attend a Snowsport Nordic Refresher run by another organisation

There's more information on recognised CPD courses here

Private refreshers can also be arranged directly with Nordic trainers. Please contact the office if this is of interest.

Useful Info

This video encapsulates up-to-date approaches to technique with a very accessible and visual format for learning. All Nordic Instructors are invited to study this video and use this material to inform your instruction.
