USPA licenses remain current with membership and are recognized by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. A skydiver is considered a student until issued a license. For the current license requirements and privileges see the Section 3-1 of the Skydiver's Information Manual. Who Can Sign Off On License Applications? USPA A License Proficiency Card (1 page) (This is the 1-page shorter version of the two A license cards available) The A license proficiency card was developed for drop zones that use their own student training program to train students to the A-license skill level. Each item to be initialed on the card lists the final advancement criteria for the various skill sets required for the A license. Each line includes an "I" beside it, which indicates a USPA Instructor must initial the item after verifying that the student satisfactorily completed all of the necessary training. A USPA Instructor must also sign the card once everything has been initialed and it is ready to be submitted to USPA Headquarters for the A-license number to be issued.
