Refresher while student?

My girlfriend and I did our FJC about 3 months ago and havent been able to make it back out since then.

Will we have to retake the FJC to continue on with AFF2

Most definitely you will have to do extensive training again, possibly the entire FJC, possibly have to repeat AFF1.

Seriously? This is exactly why you should think twice about asking for advice on a public forum.

Call the dropzone and ask - their opinion is the only one that matters.
Here is what the USPA SIM recommends; your dropzone may have its own policies/processes that differ:

What is wrong with that advice?

3 months is a very long time between AFF1 and 2, our DZ would involve a large refresher covering most of the FJC again + possible AFF1 rejump.

The advice is correct. With such a long layoff for someone with only one jump I would expect extensive training. As for the other stuff, he said "possibly". Just depends on the dropzone policy.
