Adventure Extreme BHPA Paragliding courses and training in France

One of the main problems facing would-be pilots trying to get through to Club/Novice Pilot level, the level at which you can fly unsupervised, is the "good old" British weather. It can often reduce progress to a frustrating snails pace. Adventure Extreme, one of the UK's most experienced BHPA Schools, have solved the weather problem, with our unique overseas training package.

EP level is reached after only a few days flying, you can then finish off the more intensive flying necessary for Club/ Novice Pilot. Here in the sunny South of France, the normally excellent flying conditions will allow YOU to progress rapidly through the pilot rating system.

The first stage of your training will take you safely through to the level of EP. Your EP (Elementary Pilot) training course will guide you from the basic theory of flight through to the completion of the flights necessary to achieve the EP rating. You can normally expect this stage of your training to take about 3 - 4 days. This part of your training will be covered under FFVL Insurance.

The second stage of your training, Club/Novice Pilot Completion, can either follow on from, or be completed at a different time to the EP. You can expect to progress rapidly to Club/Novice Pilot rating due to a combination of normally ideal flying weather and expert instruction utilising radio instruction/control and video debriefing techniques. You can expect to return to the UK after your course as a fully qualified Club/Novice Pilot, no longer requiring to be supervised by an instructor. You can at that stage join a local Paragliding Club and take part fully in any free flying activities. This stage of your training will take about 7 - 9 days.

Our weather guarantee is valid for this package so that in the unlikely event that you lose any flying days because of bad weather you will be given a full time credit for time loss. Guaranteeing you top value for money!
