Learn To Skydive
AFF (Accelerated FreeFall
Dive headfirst into the extraordinary world of skydiving with our Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course at Skydive Tilstock (Shropshire, UK) or abroad with Evolution Skydiving.
Our AFF program is a thrilling and efficient way to fast-track your journey to becoming certified skydivers. Prepare for an exhilarating adventure that combines the rush of freefall with expert guidance and safety protocols.
The AFF course offers flexibility in completion, catering to your schedule and weather conditions. Ground training on day one sets the stage, and if conditions align, we can achieve 3-4 jumps daily, provided you maintain performance.
To maximise retention and muscle memory, dedicating a week at the dropzone is ideal. Daily instructor refreshers ensure you're prepped for the day's skydiving adventures.
