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