Answer There are a number of ways to complete your training to become a skydiver, and many websites which provide detailed information to help you decide which way you would like to proceed.
To answer your questions:
1. You can carry out free fall on your very first skydive if you train using the Accelerated Free Fall method. If you continue through the static line system it will depend on your ability and can be as quickly as 6 jumps.
2. The cost depends on the method you use to train and your ability to complete that programme, typically it is around £1500 to become a licensed skydiver.
3. Please see above the answers.
