That's it! Once you can accomplish all those things you can jump by yourself. Then it's time to work on your first license (A License). You need 25 jumps to qualify. Once you have that license, you can jump anywhere you want.

You need to jump at least once every 30 days. Waiting longer than that between jumps will result in retraining and, most likely, repeating the prior student jump.
