Learn to Skydive

Learn to Skydive solo and get certified through our Accelerated Freefall program.

Learn to Skydive with our Accelerated Freefall Progression Program

Time to kick off your tandem training wheels? Our Accelerated Freefall Progression Program is designed to put you on the fast-track to being able to skydive solo. The program consists of ground training, tandem jumps, training jumps with our experienced professionals, and supervised solo jumps.

The 16-jump program starts with two tandem skydives to help you get your bearings in the new environment. From there, it emphasizes strong freefall and canopy skills, a procedural approach to the high-stakes environment of a skydive and one-on-one tutelage by our team of experienced skydiving instructors. We do our best to make sure that all jumps are video recorded for thorough, immediate feedback.

    Had an amazing experience the entire way through the process, the employees here are top notch. My instructor Kyle was fantastic and has ignited a passion in me for jumping, I can't say enough good things about him and the experience altogether. I started with the high altitude jump and it was absolutely as advertised. I immediately went and booked a second jump with Kyle, so I made my first two jumps today and couldn't be more thankful for the attention to detail and the overall experience. If you're looking for the best possible place to book your jump, then do yourself a favor and jump here.

    My fiancé and I went to Piedmont Skydiving for our first time ever skydiving! We had a wonderful time and would recommend this company to anyone in search of a great skydiving experience. I loved jumping with Ky and would highly recommend him as he is extremely kind and assuring throughout the entire experience!

    I’m am hooked, ready to go again for my third time in two months, pull the chute this go round and let Dakota correct me, and start my ground class, the first time you start jumping won’t be near as good as the second, you know what’s coming and aware of what’s going on around you, take in the scenery and keep your cool and have fun with the ride

    Skydiving rules! Jumped with Derek on Sunday and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. My first time with Piedmont. Crew was on it (also appreciated the distancing and precautions), instructions were easy, plane was cool, and flying through the clouds, that rush of adrenaline, taking in the sites, gliding like a bird, was memorable to say the least. This was a friends birthday present, and well worth it. We look forward to going back again.
