Pre Course-
The AFF Pre-Course will definitely help prepare you for success in the AFFIRC. By attending this pre-course you get a chance to see what is expected both in the air and on the ground and it will most assuredly prepare you for your air evaluation jumps as well as give you some guidance on Category C & D ground preps. In the AFF pre-course you can make as many practice jumps that time and weather permit. This is chance for new candidates to receive some personalized coaching and hot tips in regards to critical skill sets that are needed to become an AFF Instructor for example: fine tuning your air skills, slot flying with a difficult student, handling hard exits, reading the body position, giving proper hand signals, proper docking techniques, stopping spins, rolling over a student who is on their back, assisting with deployment, the bottom end sequence to include pulling for the student and riding through the deployment.
The AFF Course itself includes 2 practice jumps as part of the course criteria. However, if you have come this far to get this rating, there is nothing like getting more practice and preparation to ensure you succeed.
The Course-
This may vary depending on the number of candidates and if there is a AFF Pre-Course along with an AFF Instructor Rating Course (AFFIRC). There are many dynamics to the length of a AFF Course such as weather, number of candidates, candidates skill set, etc... Typically a AFF course with a pre-course can vary from 7-9 days. Without the pre-course the AFFIRC will typically last 4-5 days (weather dependent).
Costs-
Pre-Course and Course $800
Lift tickets $33 15-20 jumps + slots for evaluator and videographers when needed.
Pro rated travel costs for evaluator. $75 (Est.)
