Para Gliding
Beginner
Paragliding is an incredibly satisfying way of flying. If you're interested in finding out more about paragliding but don't know where to start, the best way to begin is to enrol on a short course of group or private lessons to see if paragliding is for you. Many operators offer ‘primer courses’ that let you see if paragliding is for you. If you enjoy your single-visit we strongly recommend that you enrol on a multiple-visit course.
Intermediate
If you already have basic paragliding knowledge and would like to fly your paraglider without the direct supervision of an instructor, there are many ways you can improve your skills. Most intermediate lessons will focus on strict safety standards and how to apply these rigorously. They will also teach you how to layout your wing and do a preflight check, become at ease with both forward and reverse launches, learn to control your wing through turns, mild turbulence and more. There is usually the opportunity to take lessons privately as well as part of a group, giving you the opportunity to hone specific skills such as preparing for your first high-altitude mountain flight.
Advanced
If you’re an ambitious advanced paraglider striving to break through to the next level, honing your skills further means you’ll be able to learn more advanced techniques that will enrich your paragliding experience. Many advanced skydiving lessons encourage you to practice your advanced manoeuvres and teach you about gaining exposure to micro meteorology and its effect on flight. If you enjoy paragliding so much that you’re considering becoming a paragliding instructor, you must take an accredited Instructor Training Course to gain teaching experience as well as technical improvements.
