SMALL GROUPS = MORE TASKS ACHIEVED
We specialise in Elementary and Club Pilot paragliding courses, with a good Instructor to Student ratio, making sure you have the right environment to progress quickly and safely as possible. We DO NOT teach large groups, stag or fun days, allowing our dedicated BHPA Instructors to give you the personal tuition you require, in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, on our exclusive, all wind direction, private sites.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
First you need to achieve Elementary Pilot, on average 4 to 5 days and then Club Pilot, about 5 days. The days do not have to be taken consecutively and once Club Pilot you can leave the school and fly unsupervised.

ELEMENTARY PILOT £495 + BHPA  Membership*
Beginners paragliding course - Equipment provided - About 4 - 5 days
This is a complete course offering excellent value for Beginners.
Progressing through a series of exercises that start at the bottom of the hill and work up. First ground control, inflating the canopy, walking it along the ground steering left and right, a little like flying a large kite. Next, short hop flights just above the ground while maintaining directional control. Progressing up the hill in stages, from short hops to low level flights, straight at first then with some turns, then higher flights with controlled take offs, turns and spot landings. Training days do not have to be taken consecutively but must be taken within one year. This marks a recognised level of competence before Club Pilot and unsupervised flight, with some theory and a basic exam you now have Elementary Pilot.  summary of lessons
