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.

    I highly recommend Piedmont Skydiving for your first skydiving experience. They are efficient and professional. The checkin process was fast. My tandem partner was Kai. He was amazing, making me feel at ease and excited for my first skydiving experience. I bought the video/picture package and was very pleased. I’m 58 years old and I got to check skydiving off of my bucket list! As soon as I landed, I signed up for another tandem jump. ❤️

    I had an amazing experience! I chose this team to skydive for my 24th birthday. My instructor, Sky, was awesome! Sky was super friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. He helped ease my concerns skydiving for the first time. I would recommend this place for anyone wanting an adventure to put a little pep in their step. Thank you for giving me the experience of a lifetime! You guys Rock!

    I’ve been twice and it’s awesome! The second time was a little disappointing in that the weather didn’t cooperate and we waited around for 3 hours. However, weather has a mind of its own! We rescheduled for the next day and it was awesome! I scheduled with Matt again because it was so awesome the first time! He’s very informative and eases your nerves. Derek is awesome as well. I jumped with my cousin and though there was miscommunication with the video, which she didn’t receive, she did get pictures and a refund. Would highly recommend this place. All staff are awesome, including Bo, the golden retriever.

    10/10. It was my first time and I loved it so much that I put a down payment on another jump. I was reading other comments and want to state that they do give you goggles to wear and I think a helmet can be requested. Great people. Very kind, funny, and just all around a great bunch. You get to mingle with other jumpers and everyone was super friendly. We also got our pictures and video within 2 hours after we left. I will be back. I would like to give a shout out to the hardest working member, Bobo. He's a good doggo. 🖤

    From start to finish they were professional and fun. I was comfortable with the idea and Matt explained how we would do the entire jump, then we were up in the plane and jumping, that was a major blast. He made the decent as comfortable as possible and the landing was silky smooth. I can't wait to do it again and again!!!!
