With a maximum group size of just three you can be sure of very individual attention over the course of your training. During this week long course you will be taught the fundamentals of skydiving up to five times faster than other courses, although you won't actually fall faster. Included in the price are 8 skydives and all the essentials for a skydiver which are yours to keep, such as a tailored jumpsuit, helmet, altimeter, goggles, logbook and membership to the British Parachute Association.
The course begins with a whole day of tuition, which covers both the practice and theory of Skydiving techniques. Once the instructors are satisfied with your on ground performance, you will be permitted to take your Level 1 skydive with two Instructors holding on to you from 12,000ft. The AFF course covers 8 Levels of accomplishment, with each level usually requiring one skydive, and is designed to be covered over the course of an entire week. Should there be good weather at the time the course is taken then it may sometimes be completed in less time, for example a few days.
