lol i think i ment a jump master ;p

all i knew was there's a ground course and then some flying time, just didn't know how much time it took.

Parachute drop course
Rule 61.651(a)(3)
requires an applicant for a parachute drop rating to have satisfactorily
completed a course in the dropping of parachutists. The course must be conducted by a
parachute organisation whose Part 149 certificate authorises the holder to conduct a course in
the dropping of parachutists.
The ground course would normally include the following:

A briefing by a jumpmaster on the use of parachutes; and parachuting operational and
emergency procedures; and

A knowledge of CAR Part 105 - Parachute Operating Rules, and of Part 91 rules -
Parachute-drop operations and Emergency parachute assemblies.

Competency demonstration
Rule 61.651(a)(4)
requires an applicant to have demonstrated their competency in the dropping
of parachutists to an authorised person within a parachute organisation. The demonstration of
competence must be conducted by a parachute organisation whose Part 149 certificate

authorises the holder to conduct assessment for a parachute drop rating.
