Ive recently finished this course. I was one of the coolest things ive ever done. I started it with 100 jumps and it has made a huge difference to my flying. You learn alota stuff that you wouldnt get to learn if you just did you AFF and then went into the world. The CI Gary Beyer is awesome, who doesnt want to get trained by a world champ. For kiwis this is the best place to learn to jump the government will pay half the course and you get a student loan for the rest, they will also pay your living costs for the 9 months, they paid more than i did for the course. Pretty much every one gets offered a job after there placement. Doing this course has given me a new look at skydiving, im much more safety conscious and confident. Its an AWESOME course dont let any of these guys tell you any different, none of the people i did it with wanted to leave.
