For everyone who wants to learn to fly from scratch all the way to being an independent pilot and knows they will see the training through. It is suitable for people aged 15 and over; under-18s need written parental consent.

The path to a paragliding pilot licence goes step by step:

• Introductory course (optional): one day to learn the basics.
• Step 1 — beginner course: four consecutive days (25 hours), theory and practice up to your first high flight.
• Step 2 — advanced course: about 14 days, fitted around your schedule, 50 high flights.
• Step 3 — exam: theory and practical exam before the national board.
• Optional: Hike & Fly and individual training.

• All the content of the beginner and advanced courses
• Online classroom with exam preparation and a flight log
• Equipment rental: in full during the beginner course, up to the 15th high flight in the advanced course
• Photos and video
• Certificate of attendance

The fastest route to the exam is 14 full days. You can also go at your own pace, with no time pressure — it depends on your time, your progress and the weather.

The beginner part starts every Saturday or by arrangement. We let you know about sessions at least a day ahead by text message.

In winter, because of the shorter days, courses run only at weekends.

Participants arrange shared transport to the flying site among themselves. Each participant decides for themselves whether their name, town and chosen contact (phone or e-mail) are shown to the other participants of the same course date — this is set with a separate consent at registration or in the profile settings. Without consent the details are not visible; declining does not affect your registration.

Exam prerequisites: at least 16 years of age, a completed training programme, 50 high flights (more than 300 m of height difference) from at least five different take-off sites recorded in your logbook, and a valid medical certificate of the kind required for a category B driving licence (not older than 24 months). We register you for the exam.

The exam is taken before the examining board of the Civil Aviation Agency (CAA): a theory part in six subjects (aerodynamics and flight mechanics, meteorology, construction and materials, emergency procedures, aviation medicine, air law; pass mark 80 %, 100 % in emergency procedures) and a practical part — the exam flight — usually on the same day. The exam can be taken in English.

CAA fees (invoiced by the agency, not part of the course price): theory exam 15 € per subject (90 € for all six), practical exam 90 €, licence issue 50 € — 230 € in total. The medical certificate is charged by the doctor.

IPPI card (the FAI international pilot proficiency card) — you need it to fly independently abroad. It is issued by the Slovenian Aeronautical Association on the basis of the Slovenian licence: send a copy of the licence, a link to your flights on OLC and proof of payment to jpz@lzs-zveza.si. The last published fee is 15 €. Stage 4 means you are qualified for thermal flying, stage 5 for cross-country flights.

The participant is informed of the specific provider or instructor before the training starts. Where the regulations require a specific rating for the training, it is conducted only by a person holding a valid appropriate rating.

Participants are informed of the specific provider or instructor before training begins. Where regulations require a specific authorisation, training is delivered only by a person holding a valid one.
