Professional parachuting
For around 25 years, skydiving has been practiced and taught professionally all around the world. Alongside this, an industry has emerged that now manufactures parachutes and harnesses that meet the highest quality standards. Parachuting equipment must pass the most stringent, internationally standardized tests to obtain market approval. Subsequently, a quality seal certificate is issued which approves the parachute and the harness for jumping operations.
As a member of the German Skydiving Federation (DFV), it goes without saying that our skydiving equipment complies with these regulations, and is also considered the most modern in Germany. All our parachutes, harnesses, opening devices and jump suits have a low average age and comply with the highest standards.

AFF First Jump Course
All you need for your first skydive is two days of free time. In 1.5 days of theory, you'll learn everything you need to know about skydiving. This is followed by your first Level 1 jump with two instructors. An AFF First jump course is the perfect opportunity to get to know our amazing sport and experience your first solo skydive. If you decide to take an AFF Part I License Course or License Course after completing the AFF first jump course, the costs will be fully credited.
AFF license course part I
The AFF License Course Part I covers the first seven training jumps (levels 1-7), during which you will be accompanied by our experienced skydiving instructors in freefall. Before each jump, you will receive a comprehensive briefing and short exercises. After each jump, the instructors will analyze the jump sequence, supported by video recordings. The AFF License Course Part I lasts four to seven days and offers you a safe and personally supervised introduction to skydiving. You can complete the training all at once or spread over several weeks.
AFF licence course
Upon successful completion of the AFF course, you can now perform solo freefall jumps without an instructor. But don't worry, our instructors will still be at your side, accompanying you from the ground. From now on, you will begin preparing directly for the skydiving license exam. To obtain your personal, internationally valid skydiving license, you must complete a total of 25 jumps, attend a packing course, and take and pass the theory exam. The 25 jumps include one test jump from 4,000 m with video support and one test jump from 1,500 m with a target landing.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ AFF

Shall I make an appointment for an AFF course at GoJump?

Especially in the summer, we recommend early reservation and registration for AFF jump courses. Registration is done via email to info@GoJump.de.
What does AFF mean?
It stands for Accelerated Free Fall and this training was introduced in the USA over 30 years ago because the conventional method, using a rip cord, was taking much longer and the learning progress was lower. This AFF method is still being used around the world today – in exactly the same way as before. We definitely recommend the AFF method: faster, safer and more fun.
Is there is a minimum/maximum age?
You can begin your AFF course at age 14, provided you have written consent from both parents or guardians. However, you can only take the license exam at age 16. There is no upper age limit. The golden rule is: If you feel physically and mentally fit enough and can provide a medical certificate, you can begin AFF training.
How experienced are the skydiving instructors at GoJump Berlin?
Our AFF instructors have up to 30 years' experience in the areas of sport as coaches, teachers or international contestants. The head trainer at GoJump has already completed more than 11,000 jumps. At GoJump you're in good hands – whether for your tandem jump or your AFF training.
How long does an AFF course last at GoJump?
The first AFF skydiving course takes 1.5 days. The law says that you must sleep for one night after the first day of theory. We will use the second day to go back over what you have learnt. In the afternoon, you'll then set off into the sky with two teachers for the first parachute jump.
You should expect the complete AFF parachute course (7 level jumps) to take 3-5 days or 2-3 weekends. You can choose either a complete week or 2-3 consecutive weekends – whatever is best for you.
The AFF licence training, including the 25 required jumps, should take around 4 weeks. After the AFF complete training course, we estimate there will be 2-4 jumps a day.
What overnight accommodation is there in Gransee?
Our organisation – the Fallschirmsportgemeinschaft Berlin (FSG) – owns one of best parachuting campsites in Germany. Camping is free of charge. Please contact our office about hotels – we will be happy to help.
