Are you looking at getting your AFF Instructor Rating any time soon? Come and prepare yourself properly with our AFF Pre-Course at Skydive Spain during March 22-24, 2011.

The AFF Preparation Course is designed to practice the skydiving portions of the AFF Certification Course and will be conducted by USPA I/E Marcus Laser and BPA Examiner John Horne. We will guide you through the air skills required to pass the AFF IRC. Many scenarios that you will encounter on the AFF IRC will be practiced, such as different exits, spin stops, turnover techniques and appropriate hand signals. Besides the practical part the course offers also lectures covering subjects such as format of courses, specimen lessons, briefings/debriefings etc.

There is no minimum or maximum jumps required, each participant sets his own goals according to his experience and the training needs. The course fee will be set according to the number of training days and number of participants and varies between 90€-150€ per day (plus jump tickets). The Pre-Course requires prior registration (registration form and deposit), no later than February 5th, 2011.

Contact our Office by email: info@instructorsacademy.com, call us through Skype (instructorsacademy) or by phone at (+34) 620 659 096.

We had a nice weekend at Skydive Lillo during Nov 26-29 and we were able to finish the planned FS training with our Geman friends.

Both have successfully completed their achievements and we congratulate them big times combined with a thank you for their visit. We also appreciated the assistance of Coach Julian Barthel during this training camp. Thank you as well!
