Testimonials

“TRC provided everything I expected and more to be a safe and reliable instructor. After his courses I had the opportunity to take my family members through AFF and the STP program. DJ is awesome skydiver with a wealth of knowledge; his courses are exciting and geared to improve our skydiving community one instructor at time.”

“Passion, Quality, Integrity, and professionalism is the easiest way to sum up TRC and its team members. My personal real world student teaching success stories are attributed to the level of preparedness I received from TRC. “

Kyle Schoonover

“I was previously a military jump instructor when I choose The Ratings Center for my coach rating. I was absolutely blown away by the professionalism and dedication to student learning. I subsequently went back to The Ratings Center for my AFF rating and again, nothing less than the absolute best dedication to realistic training and emphasis on what students will take away from Instructors.”
