REQUIREMENTS FOR TAKING THE COURSE:

• Be 18 years old
• USPA membership
• Hold or have held any USPA instructional rating
• Have a USPA C-license or FAI equivalent and at least 200 jumps
• Have the required portions of the static-line proficiency card signed off

You need to have a current SIM and IRM for the course. (current = not older then 24 months) These can be ordered form the USPA.

THE PROFICIENCY CARD:

The SL/IAD proficiency card is in the back of the IRM. This card needs to be signed off in the required areas before the course starts! If you are already an instructor you can skip the topics that are marked with a *. The first thing you should do if you consider taking the course is look at the proficiency card to see what needs to be done prior to the course. It may take some time to complete the signatures on the card. Some topics will get signed during the course by the course director. This is all marked on the card itself and is pretty much self-explanatory.

THE WRITTEN TEST:

The SL/IAD written exam is located in the back of the IRM along with the answer sheet. You must complete the written exam (a passing score is 80%) prior to the start of the course and it will be graded during day 1 activities. It is an open book test and forces you to read through the IRM and SIM prior to the start of the course.
