AFF Course Pre-requisites:

• must be 18 years old
• Current USPA membership
• be a USPA coach or instructor from another discipline(IAD, S.L or USPA 
tandem)
• USPA C-license or FAI equivalent
• have documentation of 6 hours of free fall time
• have the USPA AFF proficiency card signed off in the required places prior to the course.

For the course you need a current (current = not older then 24 months) SIM and IRM. These can be ordered from USPA.

The USPA AFF Proficiency Card:

The AFF proficiency card is in the back of the IRM or can be downloaded from USPA’s web-site.
This card needs to be signed off in the required areas before the course starts If you are already an instructor you can skip the topics that are
marked with a star (*).
The first thing you should do if you consider taking the course is look at the proficiency card to see what needs to be done prior to the course. It may take some time to complete the signatures on the card. The signatures will be valid for 24 months so don't worry about starting too early.

The course director will sign some topics during the course. This is all marked on the card itself and is pretty much self-explanatory.
