Skydiver Training Program Ground School (Houston)

At Skydive Spaceland, our instructors have combined decades of experience and thousands of skydives to create The Skydiver Training Program (STP). We help you excel in this challenging sport by combining fun, safety and education in a non-competitive, relaxed environment with state-of-the-art parachute equipment. There are a lot of good reasons why Skydive Spaceland is the busiest civilian skydiving school in the United States! Here are just a few of them:

• Dedicated instructor and free, thoroughly debriefed video on every skydive
• Open and training all day every day
• State-of-the-art equipment to fit most every body size/type
• All equipment rental included–no hidden fees
• Deploy and fly your own parachute to a soft, on-target landing assisted via radio by your instructor
• Learn at your own pace, whether that’s beast mode and completing 25 jumps in a week or a jump here and there as you can.

Upon completion of the Skydiver Training Program, you will have completed the objectives required to get a skydiving license from the United States Parachute Association (USPA). You’ll be able to skydive with your friends anywhere in the world!

Course Overview/Schedule

This first-jump ground school course includes both online and on-site hands-on training. Both must be completed and signed off before your first solo training skydive.

The online course contains seven online video/test modules that you can complete at your own pace. Your final online test, the Solo Transition Test, must be completed within two weeks of your on-site training/first jump, which is offered weekly and by appointment. If more than two weeks passes between the transition test and on-site training, no worries–you can simply take the test again.

Call us at 281-369-3337 to schedule your on-site training when you’re getting close to finishing the online part of the course; we are excited about flying with you!
