New Zealand Skydiving School is a training school for commercial skydivers at 73 Green Road in Parakai, Rodney. Its main course is the Diploma in Commercial Skydiving, a 32-week full-time course that the website says is the only one of its kind offered by an organisation. The qualification is approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and recognised by the NZPIA and CAA. Government funding and student loans are available.
The diploma has five modules and includes up to 200 skydives, or 175 for students who join already licensed. It ends with a 12-week work experience placement at a commercial dropzone in New Zealand or overseas. The school says 81% of its 2023 graduates were offered skydiving-related work, and that every 2022 graduate was. Applicants must meet the NZPIA Fit and Proper Person criteria and have no serious medical conditions.
