BHPA Membership

As we are a BHPA Registered School, to do a paragliding course or tandem paraglider flight with us you are required to take out BHPA Membership for the duration of your course (or on the day of your tandem paraglider flight). This is the same for any BHPA Registered School.

Whether you decide to do a tandem paraglider flight, paragliding lesson or paragliding course, you will have to take out necessary BHPA Membership. The different minimum levels of BHPA membership required are detailed below:

Tandem Paraglider Flight
Minimum BHPA Membership required: BHPA Day Membership.
1 Day of BHPA Membership is included in our price for a Tandem Paraglider Flight.

One Day Paragliding Lesson
Minimum BHPA Membership required: BHPA Day Membership.
1 Day of BHPA Membership is included in our price for a One Day Lesson.

Two Day Paragliding Course
Minimum BHPA Membership required: BHPA Day Membership.
2 Days of BHPA Membership is included in our price for a Two Day Course.

Five Day Paragliding Course
Minimum BHPA Membership required: BHPA 3 Month 'Training' Membership.
BHPA Membership is not included in our price for a Five Day Paragliding Course.

Ten Day Paragliding Course
Minimum BHPA Membership required: BHPA 12 Month 'Full Annual' Membership.
BHPA Membership is not included in our price for a Ten Day Paragliding Course.

You can buy more than the minimum BHPA Membership required if you wish.

If you are thinking of carrying on to do the Ten Day Paragliding Course then it can save you money in the longer term to go straight for BHPA 12 Month 'Full Annual' Membership (plus there are also other benefits).
