skybytch 273 #3 August 9, 2006 Quoteso where are the course directors? how do you become one? Declare yourself one. You've got the skills. USPA isn't going to create a rating anytime soon. Check out the basic skills course in the S.I.M. too. It's pretty much the same things that Scott Miller teaches in his basic course. Good stuff. Go teach one. I would, but I don't have the skills.

I am NOW a course Director. come to Skydive The Farm, and get your cards signed off!! I will work the details out later... QuoteGo teach one. I would, but I don't have the skills. I teach to those that are willing to listen. on a weekly bassis. usually newbies, sometimes advanced. I would love for U.S.P.A. to have a rating program for this. A strict one also.

skybytch 273 #6 August 10, 2006 QuoteI teach to those that are willing to listen. on a weekly bassis. Some people learn better in a structured situation. Give it a try some weekend; I'd bet you'll see good results. QuoteI would love for U.S.P.A. to have a rating program for this. A strict one also. I agree wholeheartedly. Be sure to let your regional director and the S&T committee know how you feel - they won't do anything further if we don't continue to ask them to.
