To qualify for rating you must:

 

-18 years of age, or older

- 500 ram air jump minimum

-At least threes in the sport of skydiving

- Hold a UPSA D-license or foreign equivalent

-  Hold a valid FAA Class III medical certificate, foreign equivalent, or HALO physical

 

THE COURSE

The Tandem rating course will take 3-4 days (weather permitting). The course consists of one/ two days of classroom, 10 evaluation jumps and a written exam. The class starts with verification of the requirements. The Vector and Sigma Tandem Manual's are the course books. I strongly recommend to purchase this manual from the United Parachute Technologies prior to the course or download it from their website (www.uptvector.com). The questions for the written tests are there and there is a study guide online. These are open book tests and can be done at home prior to the course.

You need to bring copies of:

A driver's license (age verification

Logbook with 500 documented jumps

USPA membership card with D-license and instructional rating endorsement

 

SIGMA ENDORSEMENT

To get the Sigma endorsement you need to take an additional written test.

COURSE FEES

The course fee is 18 000 krones for the training. This cost includes the ground instruction, and the examiner fee for the evaluation jumps.

Our Tandem equipment may be rented at 800 Krones per jump or you may use drop zone specific equipment. You will still be responsible for the jump tickets (20 slots). United Parachute Technologies charges $25 rating fee for Vector and an additional $10 for the Sigma endorsement.
