You are about to begin a crucial part of your training: the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. Throughout this course and throughout your career as a skydiver, one golden rule must always be respected: never be left with an unanswered question! There are no stupid questions in skydiving and your instructors will always be there to answer them.
Approach this course at your own pace, it is important that you understand all the explanations. Each of the 8 modules includes explanatory documents and a quiz. You must read and understand all materials and submit all quizzes.
At the end of the course, you will be required to complete the final course exam. The passing grade is 100%... but don't panic. If you don't get 100% on the first try, you will be redirected to the part of the course that explains the answer. The passing grade is therefore 100%... after explanation of the errors. All course content is viewable during the exam.
