Passports
The key thing here is that you want to avoid surprises. Before you go, find and check your passport and check if there are any special travel requirements for the countries you’re visiting.
Depending on the passport that you hold, and your destination, there may be additional requirements such as a return or onward ticket and sufficient funds for your stay. Don't forget to check these things for your nationality and passport well ahead of time (Also note that may also apply to any countries/regions you will pass through in transit).
Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months after your planned date of return to your home country.

Flights & Insurance
Coordinating everything you need to live overseas can be a challenge so make sure you prepare early.
Please note – For placements at Canyons resort in Japan you are required to have a policy with personal liability cover of 30 million JPY or more. Don't worry though, this isn't as much as it sounds if you find a good provider.
▢ Confirm Course Start Dates with EA
Before booking your flights, speak with your training consultant to get the confirmed starting dates for your course. They will help you to ensure you arrive in the country with enough time to reach the resort.
▢ Flights Booked
Once you have confirmed your flights please email us your Flight Number, Departure Airport, Departure Date & Time, Arrival Airport, Arrival Date & Time.

It is very important to ensure you have an approved insurance policy for the duration of your program. Please discuss your personal travel insurance requirements with your insurer to ensure the policy you buy is adequate for you. We recommend ensuring your insurance is in place when booking your program with us, or at least before making your final payment. Your insurance should include cancellation cover to protect you in the event you are not able to go due to medical reasons.

Accommodation
Accommodation is included for the duration of your training courses. We will email you more information closer to the start of your program.
Equipment
You will need your own ski and/or snowboard equipment for the season. There will be opportunities to purchase equipment once you’re in the resort, but you don’t want to make a rushed purchase. We suggest bringing what equipment you have to get started with. You may be able to purchase ex demo or rental gear on arrival also. Some stores will give discounts upfront and once you’re qualified there are often opportunities to receive ‘pro form’ which offers a substantial discount on retail. Look out for further tips and info on equipment from us by email.
