The Advanced Freefall Program is a structured skydiving course that has been continuously developed since 1984. It is the most progressive and complete instructional program in the world. Although there are different training programs being used around the world, AFP instructs where other programs end short. AFP has inspired USPA's requirements for self-supervision thus producing more competent and confident skydiving students. AFP gradutates have excelled in all aspects of the sport. Ronald Bell has perfected our program - now including your choice on the last 7 levels: intro to RW or intro to Freefly! 

AFP allows students to progress at their own rate in a supportive rather than stressful curriculum. This style of teaching caters to students of all ability levels by providing individualized attention. The AFP supervised environment enables each student to demonstrate sufficient and competent skills for equipment inspection, freefall, canopy flight and packing throughout the 18 level program. 

Sounds good, but how does it compare to the AFF program? To read Joe's impassioned comparison, click: here.
