Earn Your Ratings
Become a Skydive Professional
Learn From The Best
Sure, you can get your skydiving ratings most anywhere … but let’s be real, you don’t want to learn just “anywhere.” You want to train with the best of the best, knowing you’ll progress to become a well-rounded, safe and competent instructor before you go out into the world.
Why Train At WSC
Wisconsin Skydiving Center is a purpose-built and mission-driven dropzone designed to be among the best skydiving facilities in the world. Here, you’ll find a supportive and positive learning environment that champions community and collaboration over competition.
We believe it takes the whole DZ to raise a skydiving instructor! Let us raise you up!
Our Training Methodology
Gain experience and confidence through positive, constructive feedback and video analysis.
Caring and supportive mentorship significantly increases the safety of your training, depth and breadth of understanding, and quality of your progression. You’ll learn the tricks of the trade in one summer instead of through years of trial and error.
Our aim is that your Skydive Instructional Training at WSC is the beginning of a long, fun, and meaningful instructional career in skydiving.
Our Ratings Courses
At WSC, you can obtain virtually every rating in-house from Coach through Instructor Examiner.
Dario Meloni is one of the few people in the country qualified for all of the USPA ratings. He currently holds his tandem instructor, AFF instructor, rigger, coach examiner, tandem instructor examiner, and PRO ratings. He plans to earn additional examiner ratings, and become an examiner course director.
Even if you don’t have any instructional ratings, as long as you meet the requirements, you can become AFF and/or Tandem rated within a short time.
Our Focus On Perspective
We take you beyond the necessary skills and procedures.
A unique attribute of our skydive instructional training is our emphasis on emotional resilience and a cool-headed response in high-stress situations.
We share strategies on staying in instruction for a long time without getting burned out, and demonstrate how treating guests/students with kindness and dignity contributes to your ability to forever love what you do!
Our Culture
WSC is known for our phenomenal DZ culture.
We invite you to fully immerse yourself into the DZ vibe, understanding what it means to be truly driven by mission and guided by core values.
Forge friendships for life as good, old-fashioned camaraderie bolsters your progression, and vice versa! You can even stay at Skydive House if space is available, an inexpensive communal living option.
