NEW BUNGEE OPERATOR TRAINING COURSES
Safety, must always be the number one concern of all operators. Realizing this, BCI offers an in-depth training course for new operators, which meets or exceeds CBA, NABA, BERSA, SANZ and Australian specifications. BCI is one of the few companies approved by the NABA and CBA to certify competency of operators trained in accordance with their respective safety codes.
The courses that BCI offer are very comprehensive. By the end of it, companies will have all the information needed to run their jump sites safely, without further supervision, as well as the ability to continue training future staff.
BCI’s comprehensive bungee training course includes three general parts
Background and rescue training.
Specific bungee training.
Apprenticeship period.
These three parts are all written into a single module based program that is customized for each operator. In addition to the module curriculum itself, the program includes training materials, testing and performance tracking infrastructure that can be used for continued training after BCI has concluded the initial course.
Bungee Training Course Summary:
A crew of 3 to 4 Jump Master Trainers will travel to the operators jump site location where the intial module program will be taught over several days. Roughly midway through the module program, the operator’s chosen jump crew will begin a supervised hands-on dispatching of jumps under the supervison of our Jump Master Trainer.
Once the modules are completed, 2 of the 3 Jump Master Trainers will leave while 1 Jump Master Trainer will remain to supervise the remaining number of jumps required by the applicable bungee jumping safety standard of that jurisdiction. When there is no current standard in the jurisdiction in question, BCI uses the CBA standard. For the CBA training course there must be a BCI Jump Master Trainer onsite for 400 jumps.
