Meets Training Requirements

Overview

An Examiner is a person who is specifically selected and recommended for the role through a regular communication process between the tunnel operators and the IBA that will have produced a specific training path the prospective Examiner.  The Examiner will need to meet the minimum training requirements prior to being selected. These are;

  • Lead a minimum of 3 FITP courses as a Trainer Level 4
  • Trained and signed off a Trainer Level 4

Pre-requisites

Once you are a complete Trainer Level 4, you will need to be actively involved not only in an Instructor capacity but also as a Trainer, a leader and a mentor. This entails building and managing a team through developmental training and safety meetings, appropriately selecting and training new Trainer candidates through the early stages of their Trainer progression and leading new FITP courses for new Instructor candidates (a minimum of 3 courses as a T4 are required).

Objectives

The primary objective is for the Examiner candidate to remian an active participant within the training system. Becoming an Examiner is one of the most important roles of the IBA and requires current Trainers that are 100% versed with all of the training systems and are knowledgable on the complete process of training an Instructor from start to finish.

Preparation

The best preparation is to remain continuously active at all times, being involved in Trainer meetings, conference calls or off-site events to help build the IBA systems and continue to grow the culture of the company for the future. Continue to allow yourself to grow as an individual without letting yourself get stuck, plataued at the same level after becoming a Trainer Level 4. Seek out the options to help improve the operation and the training of new flyers and instructors, share your efforts and your findings to the rest of the training team around the world to encourage continued growth to provide the best resource for training internationally.

The IBA distinguishes between the sport of indoor skydiving (engaged in by patrons with IBA accounts seeking approval of flight skills though the IBA's Flight Progression System) and recreational flying (engaged in by entertainment customers who do not intend to pursue approval of skills). While indoor skydiving is safe for all ages, the inherent risk of the activity is necessarily greater for those engaging in the sport of indoor skydiving, particularly as they progress through more sophisticated maneuvers.
