AFF Course
Solo First Jump [AFF Course]
The AFF Course is the easiest and fastest way to become a skydiver. The training program combines comprehensive preparation on the ground with training jumps to get you certified in the sky.
The program begins with eight hours of classroom tuition where student learns a range of skills necessary to make a safe first jump.
Next the student begins a series of jumps designed to build the knowledge and skills required to jump alone safely.
The AFF program is based on seven jumps with requirements of the student at each level. If each level is passed on the first attempt, the student can graduate with only 7 jumps.
During the first 3 levels the student will be followed by two instructors, In the following levels only one instructor is required. After the student has passed the seven levels and the final graduation jump he/she will become a qualified skydiver with an internationally recognised license.

Level 8 and the A License?
After finishing the 7 levels of the AFF Course you will be able to jump by yourself, but still remain under the supervision of instructors.
This phase is called Level 8. At this stage you need to meet the Progression Sheet requirements to obtain your A License.
Among the requirements to be met you need to: perform 25 jumps in free fall, at least four jumps with coach, perform the basic packing course, pass the ground school examination, and the evaluation jump.
After obtaining your “A” License you will no longer be under supervision of instructors and will be allowed to jump with other skydivers and buy your own equipment.
How long does it takes to complete the 7 levels?
Several factors can influence on this: your ability, frequency of jumps and the weather. It usually takes two weekends to complete the jumps.

In case of more than 120 days without performing a jump, you must redo the entire course.
