Buy a Paragliding taster day - £140
This is designed to give
you an insight into what paragliding is all about. The introductory day is actually
day one of the ten day course and your tuition will include all of the criteria
that you would learn as a full course student. This ensures that should you
wish to carry on to complete the training, you will already have learned the
basics.
On day one you are introduced to the equipment which includes glider, harness and helmet. You will learn to handle them on the ground and the basics of how to control them in the air. You will learn to take-off and land, fly as much as your building competence allows and by the end of the day you will have a good working knowledge of what is involved in learning to fly.
Buy a Paragliding elementary pilot course - £490
This
takes you on to the more important building blocks needed in order to achieve
a safe and fulfilling attitude towards flying. You are introduced to the theory
behind the fun. We will teach you to make site assessments, the importance of
the weather and air law. You will learn how to improve your new-found skills
both on the ground and in the air. You will fly higher and for longer, flying
from the top of our 500ft hills and safely completing your flight plan to land
at the foot of the hill. Once you have completed this course you may elect to
continue your training immediately or wait a while, though not too long! The
next level, Club Pilot - £ 490, takes a further five plus days.
Buy a Paragliding club pilot course - £890
Beginner to Club pilot, 10 days minimum, This course is open ended - we teach them until they acheive a safe standard of airmanship to allow them to fly unsupervised.
The Club Pilot course builds further on the knowledge gained during the EP course. We will teach them greater control, flying even higher and longer than before, until
they have achieved their first soaring flights and landed back on the top of the
hill. We also build further on the theory, giving them a greater knowledge of
flying sites, weather, air-law, theory of flight and general airmanship.
Once qualified, they can join a local club and free-fly to their heart's content...
By purchasing your complete training course when you start training, or immediately after a taster day, you save significantly on the cost of the two separate courses. More importantly, once you are registered on our full Ab-initio to CP course, we will teach you until you are achieve CP, even if it takes 20 days!
