Skydiving courses organized by the Swiss Aero Club, so called FVS-Courses ( Fliegerischen Vorschulung - FVS ) are meant for young Swiss, 16-18 years, to get their license before their military service in a special forces unit, the "Fallschirmaufklärer Kp 17". The boys qualified for these courses will have the possibility to participate two times 2 weeks, to learn the basics of skydiving. The objective is to get the Swiss license during the second course.
The fees for these courses are mostly paid by the Aero Club, therefore this is a good chance for a young person to get the skydiving or flying license.

Some of these FVS – courses are organized at Para Centro Locarno, if you are a young Swiss, 16 – 18, and interested in skydiving & aviation & military you should try it. The second possibility, the flight training, is open for girls as well.
