Instructor

To qualify as an IBA Instructor you will need to attend an IBA approved Flight Instructor Training Program (FITP), delivered by an IBA Trainer Level 4. The FITP may be delivered in 2 ways: in most cases, it is part of a specific contract of employment delivered by the host tunnel; or directly upon request to the IBA.

An IBA Instructor is the entry level award offered by the IBA and is routinely the first point of contact with visiting flyers and customers and as such, has a high level of responsibility for leading by example and by consistently operating safely in accordance with their level of qualification. The IBA Instructor Pathway is progressive in nature and based upon individual skill and experience an Instructor will progress through Levels 1 to 4 and potentially beyond to become an IBA Trainer or Examiner.
