- Tandem jumps with an instructor, for people who are not skydivers
- AFF (accelerated free fall) course for beginners, with seven levels
- A licence course, which allows jumping with other skydivers
- Coaching in canopy control, freefly and wingsuit
The AFF course needs no previous experience. After a day of theory, students make seven jumps with about 50 seconds of free fall each: two instructors jump with them on the first three, and one instructor on the last four, after which students can jump on their own. The A licence course requires 10 jumps and a completed AFF course. AFF students must be over 16 (minors need authorisation from a parent or legal guardian), provide a basic medical certificate as required by the Royal Spanish Aeronautical Federation, and weigh less than 100 kg. A Skydiver House at Lillo Aerodrome offers overnight stays for jumpers.
