USPA AFF Instructor Rating
The AFF rating is probably the most popular Instructional rating. Being able to teach someone the sport that we all love so much is very rewarding and fun.The AFF rating course is most definitely the most challenging and rewarding course we offer. Our goal is to teach you the skills necessary to pass the AFF rating course before we test you so you can be a confident AFF Instructor ready to train students.

Coach Rating
The Coach rating is the first Instructional rating in USPA's rating system. You need to hold the Coach rating to become an Instructor. Most of the time it is possible to take the Coach and an Instructor rating together, back to back.
-
Tandem Ratings
The tandem rating system in the USA is such that each manufacturer issues their own Tandem Instructor rating.

Candidates jumpmaster each other during the course. The course starts with one on one and a half day of classroom instruction. You will get evaluated on ground training and on your jumpmaster skills.
-
IAD Rating
The course starts with a full day of classroom. On the second and third day you will get evaluated on ground training and on IAD jumpmaster skills.

The latest developments at Skydive Ratings have resulted in a new class: The Coach Pre-course. This individually tailored class will help you be successful in the Coach course and prepare you for the class and the jumps
I really enjoyed the course with Bram, Angie, Victor & Jose. The team was professional, but also fun and interesting. I highly recommend Skydive Ratings.
