iSkydive Dc offers the Tandem Progression (TP) Program for
individuals who want to become licensed solo skydivers through a
gradual and supportive training path.
The program follows USPA guidelines and includes 8 training categories
(A–H) totaling 25 jumps to qualify for the USPA “A” License.
Your training begins with two tandem skydives (Categories A and B),
where you are securely harnessed to a USPA-rated instructor. During
these jumps, you’ll receive canopy flight training and become familiar
with body position, altitude awareness, and emergency procedures.
As you progress to solo jumps, you’ll work closely with USPA-certified
instructors and coaches. Each category builds on the last, with specific
skills in freefall control, canopy flight, tracking, and self-supervised
jumps.
You must demonstrate competency in each category before advancing,
and a USPA membership is required before starting the program.
Whether your goal is to earn your license or simply challenge
yourself, the TP program offers a structured and exciting path to
becoming a solo skydiver.
