Skydiving certification
USPA establishes safety and training
policies and programs and oversees the issuance of instructional ratings.
Information on USPA safety and training programs is available from the Safety
& Training Department at USPA Headquarters.
Eligible USPA members may
participate in USPA's instructional rating program. These programs are intended
to disseminate safe and effective information on skydiving procedures for the
instruction of student skydivers. They provide a realistic and practical system
for issuing the USPA ratings of Coach, Instructor, and Instructor Examiner in
four method-specific disciplines of student training: Accelerated Freefall
(harness hold), instructor assisted deployment, static line, and
tandem.
The Unites states parachute association has 4 types of skydiver licenses.
They are the A B C D system.
