Whilst it is recommended to make a Tandem Introductory Skydive prior to enrolling on the Accelerated Freefall Programme, you can enrol on the course with no prior experience.

The 10 level / 10 jump Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Program is the modern fast track method designed to develop you into a competent skydiver in the shortest period of time.

It is an intensive course allowing rapid progression. Both time and financial commitment is required from your side.

Throughout your training you will have the personal attention and in-air instruction and supervision of highly experienced and qualified AFF Instructors

From jump number one you are a skydiver jumping from altitude (11 000ft), experiencing freefall, and learning the art of human body flight.

Run at different times at different drop zones and subject to bookings and availability, the 6 – 8-hour theory and practical session are generally held at the drop zone between the Friday afternoon and the Saturday morning immediately before your first skydive.

Accelerated FreeFall (AFF) - 10 Level / 10 Jump Programme

For AFF Levels 1, 2 and 3 you will have two AFF Instructors (one either side) with you in freefall.

For AFF Levels 4, 5, 6 and 7 you will have one AFF Instructor with you in freefall.

AFF Levels 8, 9 and 10 are consolidation solo skydives under the supervision of your AFF Instructor.

Your parachute will be a modern steerable square parachute, within a few jumps you should be flying it and landing on your feet confidently.

Throughout the AFF Programme, you will be briefed and debriefed, coached, assisted and evaluated by your AFF Instructors.

Once you have graduated from the AFF Programme you will be charged for your slot in the aircraft, equipment hire and parachute packing at the going club member rates.

The AFF Programme and qualification is internationally recognised.

Wear athletic / comfortable casual clothing suited to the weather conditions of the day.

Bring a pair of pants and a long sleeve top (not a hoodie) to maybe wear for your actual jumps.

You will need nice fitting comfortable lace-up footwear/running shoes.

Big boots with hooks, high heels and loose open slops are not acceptable.

If you have long hair bring a couple of decent hair ties.

If you wear contact lenses or prescription glasses let your instructor know and you will be provided with goggles that will protect your eyes/contact lenses, and/or will fit over your prescription glasses.

You will be provided with a sexy jumpsuit to wear over your clothing.
