Instructors Academy
Are the certificates officially recognised?

There are many different organizations, associations and federations in internationel parachuting, and each one has ist own certification. The most important are the USPA (United States Parachute Association), the BPA (British Parachute Association) and the RFAE (Real Federación Aeronáutica Española).

Skydive Lillo is a member of the USPA and the FAI (Federación Aeronáutica Internacional), therefore we offer courses which are recognised by both of these organisations. Concerning other organisations, please contact us to clear up any doubts (info@skydivelillo.com). With the instructor's license it is possible for you to work in any dropzone of the world as a skydiving instructor.

AFF pre-course
This course is a preparation course for the AFF Instructor course. During this course you can make jumps with an instructor as the student and you in the role of the instructor.

This is a good training possibility before the course which will make you feel more confident in the course and in the examination jumps.
