What is an AFF course?
An AFF course (Accelerated Freefall) is an intensive skydiving course where you learn to jump independently in one week. You make six jumps with instructors next to you in freefall and finish with your first solo jump. Along the way you work on stable exits, good body position, and safe procedures. Under canopy you are coached by radio during flight and landing, so you build confidence step by step.

Step by step to your first freefall
From day one you follow a clear rhythm: preparation, jump, landing, video debrief. That combination is exactly what makes it manageable. You always know your next focus point and you see it back immediately on video. Many students notice around day two or three that things start to feel calm, because everything suddenly clicks into place.
How it works in real life
After every landing we do an immediate video debrief: what went well, what your focus point is for the next jump, and which steps we take next.
Personal coaching and unique memories
After every jump you receive personal feedback and a detailed video analysis. That’s how you progress fast and efficiently. The videos are also a unique memory of your journey. You spend a full week together with instructors and fellow students on the dropzone, and the course quickly feels like a small community where you motivate each other.
Who teaches the course?
You are coached by certified instructors who work with AFF every day. Airboss is affiliated with the
KNVvL (parachuting section)
and we train within established procedures under the KNVvL framework, with personal coaching and clear video debriefs after every jump.
Earn your worldwide recognised licence
At the end of the course you receive a worldwide recognised AFF licence, allowing you to skydive anywhere in the world. As an extra bonus you get a free solo jump. Want to keep going after that? An A-licence programme is the logical next step.

Experience from an AFF student
“I completed my AFF and I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience.
The training was excellently structured, with great attention to detail and safety.
Using video footage to evaluate each jump gave me clear insights and helped me improve every time.”
