Due to the local restrictions mentioned before solo student parachuting does not take place here at Skydive St Andrews, however the Chief Instructor does take small groups away to other locations (both the UK and abroad) with the aim of qualifying individuals to become BPA A License Sport parachutists over a period of between 7-10 days.
