Rating Courses

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.
