At least when I was in Britain, 3 years ago, AFF courses did exist - however
less DZ's were giving the course than is typical over here. If you take AFF
then your first jump is a freefall, otherwise, yes, I think your first jump is
on a round - mine was. (Tandem freefall jumps are also available).

Other than that I agree with Paul - AFF has a good safety record.
