Home > Get involved > Fundraising and events > Adrenalin adventures > Skydiving >If you’re really adventurous, why not take the first part of a professional skydivers course – also known as the accelerated freefall (AFF Level 1 for short). You’ll have a full day’s ground training from two qualified instructors before you skydive SOLO from 10,000 feet!
Your full day’s training will involve practical classroom sessions covering all areas of making a solo skydive and on the second day, once the instructors are satisfied that you are ready, you will climb aboard the aircraft and take off for your jump.
You will have two qualified instructors jumping alongside you (you will still be solo) until approximately 5,000 feet when you will pull your parachute canopy. From that point you will steer your parachute on your own but will be guided to the drop zone by ground control who will talk you all the way in.
Points to remember:
- You will receive full training on the first day to cover all aspects of making a solo skydive the following day.
- You will also get classroom and practical sessions to prepare you for the experience of a lifetime.
- You will freefall from 10,000 feet with two instructors alongside.
- Once your parachute is open, you’ll be talked down by ground control.
- You will have the first level of a professional skydiver’s course.
- You will receive an official certificate to prove that you have completed level one AFF!
