If you are considering skydiving and deciding where to complete your training, here are key reasons why USPA training should be your first choice.
Safety comes first
When it comes to skydiving training, safety is critical. USPA has more than seven decades of experience in setting and maintaining the highest safety standards in the sport. USPA instructors are certified and trained to provide the best possible experience with minimal risk. Your safety is our top priority.
Globally recognised certification
USPA certifications are recognised worldwide. This means that once you complete your training under USPA standards, you can jump almost anywhere in the world where USPA certification is accepted. Whether you plan to skydive in the USA or internationally, your training represents a globally trusted standard.
Courses for all experience levels
USPA offers a wide range of courses tailored to your experience and goals. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced skydiver, you will find a suitable program that guides you through every stage of your progression. You can choose beginner programs, tandem-based entry paths, or even work toward becoming an instructor.
Standardised training materials
USPA schools use standardised literature to ensure consistent and safe training. Two key publications used in USPA training are the SIM (Skydiver’s Information Manual) and IRM (Instructor’s Rating Manual).
- Skydiver’s Information Manual (SIM): The primary source of knowledge for learning skydiving and safety within the USPA system. It covers rules, techniques, procedures, equipment, airspace, and operational standards.
- Instructor’s Rating Manual (IRM): A guide for instructors that provides methodology, evaluation standards, and requirements for instructor ratings and student progression.
These publications ensure consistency, safety, and a unified training approach across all USPA schools worldwide.
