This course is designed to introduce you to the sport of paragliding. By the end of this class you'll have a general knowledge of the sport, a feel for the paraglider, and the chance to decide if paragliding is for you. The class, which lasts around 5 hours, will introduce you to the equipment, cover flight theory and basic skills, and get your feet off the ground with small controlled flights. All equipment is provided. Since most students in our introductory class are excited about continuing training, we've designed this course so that you can transition seamlessly into our Beginner/Novice certification class, with the cost of the introductory course applied.

This P1/P2, certification course will give you all the training and experience you need to become a USHPA certified pilot and confidently fly without supervision. The course includes lessons on flight theory, weather, equipment, and flight specific skills. You'll begin paragliding with small flights on gentle slopes and gradually move up to ridge soaring and circling inside mountain thermals. All gear is provided for the duration of the class and you'll also receive a training manual, flight log, and training syllabus. 

Continue progressing in the sport by building the skills that will make you a pilot who can confidently fly mountains, beach, or flat land cross-country sites all around the world.  When you feel like you’re ready for a new rating, and you’ve accumulated the flights and demonstrated the abilities required, we’ll sign you off. Unlike other schools, we charge you nothing extra
