At the New Zealand Skydiving School, they offer a comprehensive 32-week full-time course called the Diploma in Commercial Skydiving. This course is designed to provide students with the best possible start in the industry, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their skydiving careers. With a total of 200 skydives and the latest skydiving techniques being taught, participants can rest assured knowing they are receiving top-notch training.

This diploma is approved by the esteemed New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and recognised by the governing organisations (NZPIA & CAA) and their operators all across the country. It's a testament to the school's commitment to excellence and ensuring the highest standards are met.

The course is divided into 5 modules, covering a wide range of subjects that are vital to a successful skydiving career. In Module 1, the focus is on the basics of skydiving and safety, providing students with a strong foundation. Module 2 takes things a step further, delving into group skydives and advanced techniques, allowing participants to enhance their skills and confidence.

When it comes to the commercial aspects of the skydiving industry, Module 3 has it covered. This module will teach valuable skills such as filming formation skydiving and tandems, high altitude descents, and equipment checks. Module 4 provides insights into how dropzones operate and focuses on developing crucial customer service and safety management skills.

Finally, Module 5 offers a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience through a 12-week work placement with a commercial dropzone in New Zealand or even overseas. This practical experience is invaluable and allows participants to put their skills and knowledge to the test in real-life scenarios.

It's important to note that the course requirements include a certain level of physical fitness and an ability to meet the necessary criteria. Additionally, international students have specific requirements to adhere to, ensuring their time at the school is seamless and enjoyable.

The New Zealand Skydiving School offers four intakes per year, each with varying start and end dates. This allows prospective students to choose the intake that best fits their schedule. The school's location at 73 Green Road, Parakai, Auckland serves as the hub for all the exciting skydiving adventures.

For those who are interested in skydiving as a hobby rather than pursuing a career in the industry, Skydive Auckland's Learn to Skydive program is the perfect fit. This program offers a more casual and leisure-based approach to skydiving, giving individuals the opportunity to learn skydiving at their own pace in a relaxed environment.

So, if you've always dreamt of soaring through the skies and experiencing the exhilaration of freefall, the New Zealand Skydiving School's upcoming local skydiving event is not to be missed. Mark your calendars, gather your adventurous friends, and prepare to embark on an unforgettable skydiving journey that will leave you craving for more.
