The Wisconsin Skydiving Center team teaches people how to skydive using a sophisticated curriculum and a continuity of instruction that transcends industry standards. In as few as 25 jumps – including your tandem skydive – our training program will take you from novice to competent solo flyer!
How It Works
The Wisconsin Skydiving Center learn to skydive program is a modified version of the United States Parachute Association (USPA) Accelerated Freefall (AFF) training method – it’s the same curriculum, but better.
Simply stated, we take the intensity level way down and your confidence level way up.
WSC Training Program
At WSC, we offer a scaffolded approach to learning how to skydive. We break from the traditional teaching model by segmenting the curriculum into phases that are easier to understand and retain — decreasing your overwhelm and increasing your likelihood of success. In our program, you focus on the mechanics of skydiving while building competence and confidence. By the time you are eligible for certification, you will have logged at least 25 jumps from an airplane and will be a fully self-sufficient skydiver! Our phased approach includes four concentrations:
