Bandarra Academy

Outstanding production! Superb use of animated illustrations combined with actual live video demonstrations. The calm relaxed pace makes this the best GH course I’ve ever come across. Most other courses teach the steps but they speak too fast and video demo at full speed which requires repeated replays to see the actual hand and body movements used to control the wing before it goes to far.

Andre and Gemma do a great job organizing and clearly presenting the basics of paragliding. I have found most schools and instructors are great at hands-on teaching, but rarely organize the basic information in a way that is easy to absorb, remember, and apply.

Useful and enjoyable! An ideal start to your ground handling practice. It makes everything else out there on the 'net make more sense. Although the Bandarra YouTube channel has a lot of info, this course covers a lot that can't be picked up there. It's all in a much more concise, professional, accessible format. The CG models for the theory parts are really well done and add a lot of clarity. There are a few fun clips that I recognize from the channel, but there's also a ton of focused, purpose-filmed video content to show specifics more cleanly. If you know these folks from the YouTube channel, you'll still enjoy their personalities and friendly communication style, but the emphasis is definitely on efficient, understandable delivery of the material, rather than a casual hangout. I am tempted to say it was too short, but in fact it's just highly refined. All killer, no filler! It was perfect for me as a novice who is playing with ground handling while I impatiently wait for my paramotor training date.

Very well done! Everything was explained easily and done with short clips of videos that can be watched over and over again. Thank You

This course is easily the best beginner course for paragliding out there. It's clear, interesting, and to the point. Excellent narration and graphics as well. Can't wait to buy the advanced course when it comes out!

I have just concluded the first section of the course and am very impressed. The audio quality and narration are excellent. The narration is calm and at the right speed. The video and graphics are top notch. I'm looking forward to the rest of the course.

Excellent, concise guide to get you started. Narration, animations, text & video quality are top notch!

How lucky I am that just as I starting in my lifelong dream of Free Flying that you literally launch this incredibly detailed course.

Love the modules, format, and personality of this course. Kudos

The content in the essentials training is incredibly well structured. I'm sure this will prepare you as well as it did to me. I recomend this to everyone who is considering getting into the sport. With or without a motor. Thank you for putting this together Andre and Gemma. Happy ground handling to everyone!

Very thorough and entertaining videos that are organized and supplemented with text and links to all aspects of ground handling. I enthusiastically recommend this course to anyone who is beginning paragliding or paramotoring or even experienced pilot that strive to hone their skills.
