• The first half of the BHPA solo pilot certification
• All equipment and instruction included
  
• End result: Able to take off and land on your own

Paragliding is about as close as you can possibly get to the ultimate dream of free flight! The Elementary Pilot Certificate (EPC) is the first qualification recognised by the BHPA and upon successful completion you will be qualified to fly solo under the supervision of an instructor! The course is great fun and you will learn a massive amount about the equipment, safety, weather and most importantly....flying! The follow up course to the EPC is the CPC after which you will be qualified to fly independently.

The course normally takes around 4 days - two days on the lower slopes of a hill and two working your way to the top. When you get your EP you will be able to prepare your wing and equipment, do the necessary safety checks, assess site/weather conditions, take off and land by yourself, carry out moderate turns and execute a simple flight plan.

Minimum age is 16.
You should have a reasonable level of fitness. If you have a medical condition that you think may affect your ability to do this course please check with the centre when booking.

This course usually takes four days dependent on weather and progress.

This course is available all year round.

The centre will provide you with all the equipment you will need. You should dress warmly - layers are best so you can take some off if you get hot. You should wear solid footwear ideally with ankle support, trainers are ok. It is a good idea to take water to drink and a packed lunch.

Paragliding is a weather dependent sport; always call the centre either the day before or on the day of your course to check that the course is going ahead.
