Student Program
Licensed to Thrill: the complete A-license student program.
If you're like many of us, after your first jump, you'll want to go again.
And again.
And again.
We can arrange that...
Whether you choose to begin with Tandem or AFF jumps, we can turn you into a USPA A-license holding skydiver.
The total cost of the 25 level A-license program at Skydive Milwaukee is $2,464 (not including any repeat levels). Tandems and repeat levels can knock a jump of choice off the end of your program, helping to keep the overall cost down.
Savvy shoppers may notice that other dropzones might offer a program for a lesser cost. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples - our program which includes an instructor or coach on every level is very different than a program that includes solo skydives. Solo skydives are certainly fun, but an instructor or coach provides valuable feedback about each aspect of the jump so that you can build on current skills and pinpoint areas to spend more time on during upcoming jumps.
We feel that in the long run, the benefit of having an instructor or coach on every skydive will save you money, make you a better skydiver and greatly increase your overall enjoyment of the sport.
