How long it will take you to complete the AFF course is up to you and the weather. All training is personalized and everyone learns at a different pace. The weather is a large factor too.

If you plan on taking the course on one trip to beautiful Florida, allow yourself at least seven to ten days to allow for bad weather and the opportunity to make some solo skydives after you complete the AFF course.
