Course Content

Students who have followed the past two years ski or snowboard and who do not reached the level to participate to an initiator course will have to take initiation lessons in the other discipline.

Technique: Learning the basic skills of Alpine skiing and Snowboard (beginners) or refinement of the Alpine ski or Snowboard skills in preparation for the initiator course VTS (= Vlaamse Trainersschool), or (when passed the selection) initiator course VTS, or (when already on the level of initiator) the instructor B course VTS, or (when already on the level of instructor B) preparation for the trainer A course. Possession of the Trainer A VTS degree provides exemption for the Ski or snowboard part but helping in giving instruction courses will highly be appreciated.
- Theory: content depends on the level. Directions will be clearly formulated at departure.
- These wintersports are organized in the form of an integrated work period and, besides the technical, theoretical, methodical and didactical aspects of Alpine skiing and Snowboard, a particular accent lies on cognitive competences (learn to live in a group in limited space, communication, problem solving thinking, social skills, …)

- the advanced techniques
- advanced motor capacities: refined controle of the snowboard or ski’s

- advanced didactical principles applied to the different sports
- specific movement analysis and the coupled error correction
- evaluation protocols to score the pupils
- theory of the instructor B-level VTS (e.g. meteorology, materials and equipment, ecology, snow and avalange, …)
- basic scientific background to construct sport specific training programs

Students are able to
- demonstrate the advanced techniques en tactics of ski or snowboard
- incorporate general scientific knowledge (anatomy, physiology, …) in ski or snowboard
- analyze errors and propose corrective measures
- evaluate and differentiate the pupils
- taking initiative and responsibility in certain teaching situations (21st century skills)
- work and play together (21st century skills)
- taking initiative and responsibility (21st century skills)

Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

GWP wintersporten with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 100% of the final mark.

Note: Samengesteld punt van praktijk, theorie en inzet.

Additional info regarding evaluation

Normal student:

Theory: written exam 30% (The exam is taken on location).
Technique 40%: free descent taking in account the progression made during the internship
Effort and cooperation with an accent on the cognitive skills 30%

Course initiator or instructor B

Theory 30%: It is possible that some extra theoretical chapters need to be known in order to get the VTS degree of initiator or instructor B. For the score on this course only the chapters that are needed for the normal student will be taking into account.
Technique 40%: free descent will be taking into account according to the progression made as for the normal students
Effort and cooperation 30% (high score is expected because the effort of following a course will be awarded!)

Note: The score for this course will be determined as for the normal student. The criteria for initiator or instructor B according to the VTS are formulated elsewhere. An info session will be organized to explain this or more info can be obtained by the VTS liaison.

Stagiair

Score on the teaching week (correct follow-up, didactical preparations, internship report): 50%. In the case that the trajectory demands a theoretical exam the score will be: teaching week 25% and theory 25%.
Effort and cooporation: 50%

Warning! The practical part of this wintersports can only performed during the stay. Consequently, there is no possibility to have a second chance for an exam in the second period. Absence and/or failure for this part will result in a re-entering the course in the next year. Only the theoretical part can be retaken in the second period.

Points on the theoretical exam from 10/20 or more will be transferred to next exam periods or to the next year.
