I wish I would have discovered this course earlier. It shows everything you need to know in a very detailed way so you can understand all the basics. I highly recommend this to new pilots during or after getting the license.

I really enjoyed the course. I liked the small animations, they really helped me understand what's happening. Certain aspects of ground handling are literally invisible. Now i can feel a better mental picture being drawn. Andre and Gemma seem like wonderful people who clearly love what they do, and sharing it with others. Well done guys!

FAQ

  • What is included in the Essentials Course bundle?

    The course is made up of two main modules: Foundation and Beginner. It includes 22 exclusive video lesson, written course supplements and field tasks for each lesson. And now, we have an interactive Ground Gaggle chat forum where you can meet other like-minded groundhandlers!

  • Who is this course bundle for?

    Essentials is for everyone: if you're interested to learn more about free flight, just starting out in paragliding or paramotoring or if you're an existing pilot looking to improve. It lays out a good foundation for understanding the fundamentals of groundhandling.

  • Do I need any previous training?

    No, but we strongly recommend it. Groundhandling is a discipline in it's own right, but it's best suited as training for paraglider and paramotor pilots. This course is designed to give a leg up to those thinking about getting PG or PPG training, those who are already in training & qualified pilots.

  • Are there any other courses after Essentials. or for for more experienced pilots?

    Not yet...but we have two new modules in the pipeline (Intermediate and Proficient) that will be released very soon! Watch out for the Pilot Pro bundle coming later in 2023...
