Finally, the link to take your license quiz may be displayed, only if it is to take the exam (maximum 2 attempts per day and supervised exam!)
Becoming an Instructor
As mentioned above, it is almost possible to do everything online on the USPA site.
For instructor ratings, you can validate the prerequisites.
The prerequisites can be divided into two parts:
1/ prerequisites concerning, for example, the number of jumps and licenses
2/ training prerequisites, such as having taken part in a first-jump course, having supervised students…
