We run our courses in Cyprus, Thailand, Malaysia, Spain and the UK as we feel that it offers better opportunities to master the excitement of paramotoring while enjoying an exhilarating holiday in the sun. Cyprus has 340 days of sunshine a year, so the chances of weather interrupting your flying are considerably less than the UK. Thailand is even better! We relocate in Spain to grab the best of the weather in the Summer and operate from March through to October. In the UK we operate from April through until August, and then move our operations to Spain and increase our manpower over there. This means that our paragliding and paramotoring schools can take people who have started their courses in the UK and then continue training and experience in Europe or Asia. Or people can simply venture to Spain, Cyprus or as far away as Thailand to start their Paragliding or Paramotoring adventures... The island of Cyprus has dramatic coastlines with deserted beaches and a wild un-spoilt mountainous interior, which will enhance your enjoyment of such an inspiring and enlivening sport.

How long are the courses and what do I get?

These courses are designed to instruct students up to certain standards. Option 1 does not offer a full qualification but rather a paramotor rating giving the customer the ability to fly solo. Option 2 is the next step up and is designed to teach paraglider pilots the art of paramotoring. Upon successful completion of the course students gain a full BMAA qualification. Option 3 is a combination of the two previous courses. It is designed to teach complete beginners and novices, over a two week period, the full BMAA syllabus resulting with them gaining the BMAA qualification.
Customers choosing to sit the Option 2 course will have to sit a Paragliding Competence Test at the beginning of the course. This is in order for students to not only prove their competence with a paraglider but also for insurance reasons. Those who fail the test will be given the chance to sit the Option 1 course. Therefore customers are encouraged to be honest and if in doubt contact us.
