BIC course

[Pammi 0]

This is now a requirement for getting your B license, correct? Even if you don't intend on being an instructor in the near future?

I don't think so, ulnless this is very new. I just got my B a couple of months ago and have not taken the BIC.
Isn't the BIC combined with the Coaches course? If so, don't you have to have a C license?

Directly from the 2001 updated SIMS manual section 3.1;D.2:

The B.I.C. is not required for a B license. The B.I.C. is a basic instructors course/coaches course. It is independent of any licenses. It gives you the option to do coaching dives and (also teach parts of the fjc under the direct supervision of an instructor). Once you've got a B you may attend one. I recommend going to one if you're having one in your area. It is a good rating to get when the chance is available. One day you will want it and then you'll have to wait to find one. There is no time like the present. You'll need to contact uspa for your course package.

Ummmm...it's either incomplete or you aren't looking hard enough. I believe there is a license requirements section......keep looking. "There once was a man named Enis....."-Krusty the Clown

Better do it quick cuz the BIC will be no more next year. In some parts it is already combined with the Coach Course, like in SoCal.

Now, now...I've always told you guys the 'blonde' is natural, even if the roots still look brown :) And apparently I'm pathetically trusting because I listened to something Merrick had to say without checking it first...AGAIN! You'd thought I'd have learned by now!

Damn, that'd be a hell of a way for USPA to make more money..
"To get your B license, you have to take the BIC - which will, next year, be a part of the Coach course.." Hmm...get a Coach rating before a B license......cool!
