Accelerated Freefall Courses

AFF is a multi levelled (8 jump) intensive course with 2 on 1 and 1 on 1 instruction. We will guide you through a safe, educational and responsible training programme that is designed to take you from complete beginner to (A) licence parachutist and beyond. This course is intense and demanding, come prepared to learn and work.

If you are keen and committed to learning how to skydive then AFF with Adrenaline Adventures is the only course to consider.  We guarantee that you'll have the same instructor to ensure continuity and after each jump your instructor will fully debrief on your jump.  You will be amazed at the instructor / student bond that’s so important within our sport.   All of your jumps are filmed free of charge, using instructor sidecam video, and we will teach you how to pack your parachute. We are an AFF school like no other and are dedicated to your learning.  Remember, always book with a reputable British Parachute Association approved school, as this will ensure quality and safety.
