    Thanks for the reply's I don't yet fully understand the process of becoming qualified but thats basically what I thought AFF was all about (how not to kill yourself) I'm happy to invest that time, just the Irish weather is always bad! Get the big steps out of the way in Spain and then do the rest at home. Freefall University is a completely different place, run by an Irish man (all English speaking). http://www.freefalluni.ie/ All they do is train people which is why I like the sound of it, full time trainers, and no tandoms bumping you off planes. That would mean doing AFF (8 jumps) + another 10 consolidation jumps + a bit of paper work? Is that somewhat close to right? Flights are only around €100 so not the most expensive bit of the "holiday". Don't really want to take much more than a week off work if I can.

    I'm a complete newbie to all this stuff. I'm from Ireland look to learn how to skydive. I've only done one tandem jump at the Irish Parachute Club in March 2012. I've had an itch to jump even since. I finally have a job that pays every week, weekends off and time to learn. My long term plan is to travel and see a bit of the world. Ide like to be able to jump in lots of different location around the world sometime in the future. I plan on leaving Ireland around October 2017 for the US. I live in Athlone and the IPC DZ is only about 45mins down the road, so probably luckier than most in Ireland to be within a reasonable distance to a DZ Ive been looking into learning with the Irish Parachute Club, ive read lots of good and bad. Seemly taking up to two years to complete your AFF, mainly due to weather, but also other factors involving the club and the general way it's ran. I've also come across Freefall University in Spain, and it seam to be a no brainier to me. For the price (€
