CATEGORY 1
The content of the first category is covered in the First Jump Course above. Category 1 is achieved once you completed your first parachute jump.

CATEGORY 2
Your first 2 jumps concentrate on exiting the aircraft with a good stable body position. The parachute opens as you fall away from the aircraft with the use of the static-line.

CATEGORY 3
Called dummy pulls, these jumps concentrate on practicing the opening of your parachute with a simulate ripcord. 3 Good dummy pulls and you are ready for your first freefall.

CATEGORY 4
Your first freefall is a 3 second delay before opening your own parachute. The next jump will be a 5 second delay.

CATEGORY 5
2 x 10 second delays demonstrating a stable freefall position at terminal velocity. This means you are going at 120 mph, the maximum speed you can fall in a belly-to-earth position.

CATEGORY 6
The time in freefall is extended to 15 seconds.

	Jump 1 - A good 15 second delay.
	Jump 2 - We now bring in the use of the altimeter.

CATEGORY 7
You will now demonstrate the ability to do a good 360° turn in both directions showing heading control. The first jump requires a single turn, however on the second decent both turns must be achieved.

CATEGORY 8
Consisting of 5 different jumps, this is the final category demonstrating stability and movement in the sky.

	Skill 1 - Unstable exit with turns.
	Skill 2 - Dive exit with back loop.
	Skill 3 - Dive exit with tracking.
	Skill 4 - Dive exit with tracking and track turns.
	Skill 5 - Dive exit, back loop, 360° right turn, 360° left turn, demonstration of tracking, track turns, signal intention to pull with a wave-off and deploy your parachute at the correct height.

After completing the final jump on Category 8, you will be qualified as a Category 8 skydiver and once you have completed Canopy Handling Level 1 (CH1) you will be awarded your BPA A-License. This is recognised around the world, which allows you to skydive with other people.
