- This event has passed.
The Tandem Instructor Course prepares you to take the general public on tandem skydives as students.
Every flight and landing under a tandem canopy changes due to the passenger’s weight; therefore, having a solid proficiency in canopy piloting skills and landing skills is necessary to take this course.
The Tandem Instructor Course can be divided into 3 Phases and can be completed in 4 days (weather permitting):
- The “Instructional” phase, will be spent in a classroom setting learning the theoretical part of Tandem Skydiving
- The “Practical” phase, will be spent jumping with or under the supervision of a Tandem Instructor or Evaluator
- The “Integration” phase, will be spent jumping with experienced skydivers in order to gain more experience prior to jumping with members of the general public. It is our goal to complete all 10 jumps with each candidate.
