Progression - What Next   YOUR FIRST JUMP - WHAT NEXT?

So you've done your first jump, what happens next? Have you ever contemplated taking up skydiving as a sport? What do you do if you want to continue? Well, you simply have to turn up at the club on a regular basis and enter the programme of instruction which will eventually lead you onto freefall, expert canopy piloting and, the most exciting of all, flying with your friends in freefall. You're already a member of the club and have completed all the major ground training so from now on you won't have to go through classroom style tuition. Instead, you get individually briefed for each jump as you progress through the student training programme, called the Category System.
