Skydive Toronto

I see these guys are in the Employment section again. They state a course is required, if so, make sure they are paying you to take the said course and not the other way around.

They're calling it an "Independent contractor position" now. Wow.

Any decent organisation should offer paid training to the chosen applicant/s.

Nobody has ever accused Skydive Toronto of being a decent organisation!

Have there been bad experiences with Skydive Toronto? Did they really make people pay FOR training in the past?!

they want $2700 + hst for the course plus a non-refundable deposit of $280 just "so that your place in the course is ensured"

They take in way more than they need for the “course” and end up taking a handful. Can’t believe he’s been doing that for over 25 years. Back when I was starting out the “course” was only $495 but it included a parachute jump.
