Best thing I’ve ever done

This program was the most rewarding, fulfilling, and enjoyable thing I’ve ever done in my life. From the day, I landed in New Zealand to the day that I left, everyone was welcoming, helpful and encouraging. I went through training with a group of other young adults who were super friendly and cool, and then we all got jobs together as ski instructors. We became really close over the course of the season, and I still consider them to be some of my closest friends. I never would have been able to ...

They changed location and course then kept $5000

I booked Internship plus Queenstown 2021 in Feb 2020, paid $5000 au deposit. In March 2021 EA contacted us stating they would not be running the course at Queenstown, we had to attend Mt Hutt, and only the internship was on offer not the plus program. This was unacceptable so we tried to get a refund. The small print states EA can change ski resort and not offer the course you paid for. So they filled our spot and kept our $5000 dollars. Be very careful giving these guy your money.
