skybytch 273 #2 August 16, 2007 For USPA's rating you need to have a B license (100 jumps), complete a coach's course and observe/teach portions of a few FJC's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meux 0 #3 August 16, 2007 Buy an Instructional Rating Manual from USPA online and it's got all the answers to all your questions. It has the progress card you'll need to log all your events as you complete them. You'll find the test that you need to take, as well as the answer sheet. There are some training aids in there too. Definately recommend that you read it thouroughly before you start your course. Have fun MH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary73 10 #5 August 17, 2007 Just happen to have this handy since I'm running a course in a couple of weeks: Before attending the course, candidates must have: at least a B License and at least 100 freefalls, observed and assisted with one complete First-Jump Course, a Skydiver’s Information Manual* that's less than 2 years old, an Instructional Rating Manual* that's less than 2 years old, become familiar with the relevant SIM and IRM sections, and completed the Coach Written Exam (in the IRM). At the course, candidates will: Attend a day or so of class and conduct training sessions to teach several basic skydiving skills. At or after the course, candidates will: perform two or three simulated ground preps and coached jumps with Evaluators. Before or after the course, candidates must: teach the general portions of two First-Jump Courses under the direct supervision of an Instructor. Upon receiving the rating, Coaches can: teach the general portion of the First-Jump Course, make regular or coached jumps with students who have been cleared to self-jumpmaster, verify (but not sign!?) A-license card qualifications, and work toward qualifying for Instructor ratings. * Available at uspa.org BTW, the IRM Essentials "manual" doesn't really live up to it's name. It only includes the introduction chapter for each rating. Not even remotely close to what's essential to attend the course.
