FWCP Licenses
FWCP licenses are certifications based on FAI regulations. They are obtained after successfully passing practical and theoretical tests. These licenses allow skydivers to access advanced disciplines and are internationally recognized as a benchmark of competence in skydiving.
Skydiver licenses are modeled on FAI licenses. However, the FWCP has adopted its own, more restrictive licenses.

The license prices for the 3 clubs are identical at 205 euros (Insurance, club membership and federation)
And ATTENTION during your annual registration, check your details carefully,

Instructors:
