Ensuring that our students feel comfortable within our walls is essential  for us. To guarantee this, we offer introductory days, when the students become acquainted with each other. The individual development of each student is important. An absolute novelty is the branch called “Outdoor” course we specialize in. Being situated in the centre of the National Park Hohe Tauern, surrounded by three incredible skiing areas (Wildkogel Arena, Zillertal Arena, Kitzbüheler Alpen) makes our school the perfect location for students interested in professions in the leisure industry. They experience at close range how significant a well-balanced daily routine supports effectiveness, health and satisfaction – not just in terms of work-life-balance.

Obtaining the certificate in instructing skiing, biking and hiking, our students have the legal permission for working in this sector of the leisure industry. Therefore, these additional qualifications are valuable for any future employers. Skiing, biking and hiking are trending amongst tourists and fit ideally with our educational programme. There is one thing we can guarantee: You won’t ever get bored!

When looking for internship positions nationally and internationally, our Career Centre supports our students in finding the right businesses. Teaching personnel prepare the students for the requirements in internships in every subject and support them even during their work experience. Internships abroad can partially be financed by the Eramsus+ programme. Our partner businesses act as a guarantor for substantial support.
