AFF Skydiving Course

AFF Course: Your Gateway to Real Skydiving

AFF – What Does It Mean?

The AFF course (Accelerated Freefall) is the fastest and most effective way to become an independent skydiver. Designed for beginners, this modern skydiving training program teaches you how to jump solo from the very start, with professional instructors by your side.

The AFF skydiving course offers an unforgettable experience. The feeling of freefall is incomparable. Space and total freedom simply can’t be described until you live it. It’s intense, exciting, and often life-changing. Throughout your AFF training, you’ll build real skills, gain confidence, and discover the joy of flying your own parachute.

Once you finish the course, you’ll be ready to join others in the sky. You can create formations as well. Enjoy the sport on your own. Whether you’re looking for a bold new adventure or a unique holiday, the AFF parachute course is your gateway to the world of skydiving.

AFF Skydiving Course – fast, modern and personal

The AFF skydiving course is fast, intense, and incredibly rewarding. In just 4 to 5 days, you can learn to jump from 13,000 feet, experience over a minute of freefall with basic maneuvers, and safely open and steer your own parachute to landing.

While we recommend a 10-day stay (minimum 7 days), accelerated skydiving training is possible even in a shorter time frame. Before your first jump, you’ll complete a full day of ground school, including

• theoretical lessons

• parachute harness drills

• emergency procedures

• parachute landing fall

• knowledge test.

Before you jump out of the plane for the first time with your parachute on your back and in the company of your instructors, you will have a full-day theoretical training, exercises on the ground, parachute harness training and theoretical knowledge exam.

During the AFF course, you also learn how to pilot you parachute. Canopy piloting is a completely separate discipline of this sport (advanced skydivers may want to develop their skills in the so-called SWOOP). After opening the canopy, your instructors help you steer and land using radio communication.

After the jumps, the instructors analyse videos (de-brief) and set the exercises to improve and ensure your progress. The course is adapted to your psychophysical conditions to the maximum. Training in small groups of 2-3 people ensure a very individual approach.
