Assist a Complete FITP

Overview

In order to receive this check box, a Trainer must while accompanying a qualified Trainer Level 4 assist a full Level I Instructor Course from start to finish. This is an essential part of the Trainer Level IV process to ensure that the new Trainer is familiar with and understands the entire training curriculum for the Level I Instructor Program along with being comfortable performing all of the physical skills, presenting all of the scenarios accurately and safely during the course. Prior to assisting a course, a candidate must have successfully completed shadowing a Level I Course.

Pre-requisites

Prior to a candidate assisting an instructor course, they must have successfully completed all of the Instructor Levels 1-4, Trainer Levels 1-3 check boxes along with shadowing an Instructor Level 1 course and be recommended by a qualified Trainer Level IV to assist a course.

Objectives

The primary objective for this skill is for you to take what you have learned from the previous Instructor Course that you have been involved with and use the experiences and the information in the Trainer Course notes to assist another Trainer to complete a successful Instructor Level I Course. Upon completing this course you should have received all of the necessary information from the Trainer(s) you have been working with in order to be able to present thorough and complete pre-briefs and de-briefs and also have the physical ability to safely execute all of the training scenarios in the course.

Preparation

Being an active instructor and being actively involved in upgrade training for the tunnel staff through the Level 2-3 checkboxes along with participating in the prior Level I course will be your best form of preparation to completing this skill and ultimately preparing you to Lead your final Level Course and ultimately become a complete Trainer Level 4.

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.
