Welcome To Skydive Ratings

SkydiveRatings is owned and operated by Bram Clement.
We offer instructional rating courses for the USPA Coach, AFF, Static-Line, IAD and Tandem ratings, as well as the manufacturers tandem rating for United Parachute Technologies (Vector/Sigma), Strong and Racer. In addition we also offer the IE rating course. This course is required to become an IE in any USPA discipline. Besides the initial rating courses we also offer re-currency training for expired ratings. We like to work with smaller groups and a friendly atmosphere where learning can take place. A personal approach is important to us.

Our full time campus is located at Skydive City in Zephyrhills, FL. Our high season is during the winter months – October through April – when skydivers from all over the USA and the world visit us to get rated in one or more instructional ratings. During the summer months we have some availability to travel around, teaching our courses at other dropzones in the USA and Overseas. Our goal is to coach and train our customers so they can be succesfull in the course.

All SkydiveRatings rigs are equipped with Aerodyne canopies (Pilot and A-2 Tandem canopies) and with Cypres AAD’s.
Nothing but the best!

Aerodyne Research is a major designer, manufacturer, and distributor of some of the most technically advanced and highest-quality sport parachute systems in the world.
