A $50.00 registration fee should be sent in as soon as possible so the course can be planned. There may be a slight additional fee depending on course expenses. BIC course/study material can be ordered directly from the USPA. If you plan on taking this course, materials must be ordered soon as it may take a few weeks to receive them.
A Basic Instructors Course is a sharing experience. The only requirement to attend are a USPA "B" license and the desire to learn to teach. It is the first step along the USPA instructional path. You are not graded on your skydiving ability or knowledge. No matter what your experience level is, you will learn at the course. Even if you do not currently expect to get a USPA instructional rating, this course will help your skydiving. The most important person in the sport is the instructor--without them the sport would die. The best way to learn is to teach and share your knowledge!
