Dates: April 11th – 25th 2026 Nov 28th – 12 Dec 2026 Jan 9th – 23rd 2027 Feb 6th – 20th 2027 UK weather often creates long gaps in training. As a result, progress slows and confidence drops. To fix that, we run this course from a dedicated base on the Costa de Almería (southern Spain). That gives you a focused two-week block with far fewer interruptions. Price: £2,350 (accommodation included) Duration: 2 weeks (intensive) Max group size: 3 (high coaching attention) Airport: Fly to Almería Airport (LEI) — transfers included Approach: Safety-led, standards-based training Safety standards and how we train Powered paragliding is aviation. Risk can’t be removed; however, it can be managed with standards, discipline and decision-making. In practice, we control the system every day: We choose weather and sites conservatively, matched to your stage We run disciplined inspections, pre-flight checks, and launch/landing routines We set progressive tasks while keeping safety margins We coach calmly to build judgement (not dependence) We pace training to manage fatigue (breaks are part of the plan) If conditions aren’t right, we change the plan. If you’re ready, we move you forward. Useful links Courses About the BHPA Contact MWPGC Why train in Almería for the BHPA CP Power course in Spain? The aim is simple: reduce training gaps. Continuity matters. When you practise repeatedly in a concentrated block, skills become routine-driven, more reliable, and safer. More continuity to build dependable launch routines and controlled climbs More repetition for circuits, approaches and accurate landings A proper daily rhythm: brief well, train with purpose, then debrief clearly Who this course is for This course is built for total beginners who want a direct, structured route to CP (Power). It also suits anyone who values calm coaching and conservative decisions over rushed sign-offs.
