Powered paragliding (aka paramotoring) is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a small motor on his/her back (a paramotor) you then run into the air with lift from a paraglider wing. The low and slow flying capability, open feel, portability, and safety aspects for this type of flying are its greatest merits. .

The Taster courses allow people to learn more about this exciting sport and start to learn the basic skills involved. Students will be taught how to safely and correctly launch, control and land a paraglider, as well as how to handle a Paramotor in simulated flight. At the end of the taster course students will have completed the first stages of the full training course, learnt new skills and had a thoroughly fun and exciting time..

The 4, 6 and 12 day courses are suitable for those keen to master these sports depending on their previous experience. A 4 day course is suitable for beginners and you will complete the Elementary Pilot paragliding course. You will learn new skills that you will need later on to fly the paramotor safely. For experienced pilots interested in sitting a paramotor conversion course this is also 4 days. .

The 6 day course is a way for beginners to complete the Elementary Pilot paragliding course and sit the first stages of the Foot Launched Powered Aircraft course. Most students should experience their first Solo Powered Flight in the 6 day course. It is also suitable for Experienced Pilots who are keen to spend a little more time on the Paramotor Conversion course. .

The 12 Day course is ideal for total beginners who wish to complete both the Elementary pilot paragliding course and the Foot Launched Powered Aircraft course. At the end of this course students will have the knowledge to be able to competently and safely pilot a paramotor without the requirement of an instructor. .
