Terms & Conditions

You must pre-book your tuition. Course places cannot be reserved without full payment in advance.

Gift Vouchers are not transferable and are non-refundable except in the following circumstances: death, pregnancy or serious illness certified by GP. In such circumstances either an extension or partial refund may be granted. Each case will be considered on its merits i.e. 12 months extension for pregnancy. Requests for refund must be in writing and will be subject to deduction of our reasonable costs.

Course fees are not transferable and are non-refundable except in circumstances as detailed above.

Achieving your rating depends upon your attendance on booked days. If weather dictates that days are cancelled, you will have ample time to rebook. Refunds due to bad weather will not be given.

Qualifications cannot be guaranteed within the specified time period; they are achieved by completing a series of BHPA defined tasks. Any extra days needed to complete training will be charged for at the current daily rate.

It is up to you to phone the school and listen to the answer-phone message the evening before your lesson (after 7.30pm) to find out whether your course has been cancelled or not due to unsuitable weather conditions. Just because a nice day has been forecast, it doesn’t mean it will be suitable for safe flying.

If your day is ‘called on’ and you fail to attend without prior notice (min 72 hours) you will lose that day's credit.

Course credit is valid for six months. Your days do not have to be taken consecutively - you can come when it is convenient for you, but you will need to book in advance.

It is advisable not to leave too much time between lessons, as progression through your course will be detrimentally affected. For your safety all courses must be completed within six months of starting or extra ‘refresher’ training days will be required. These will be charged for at the current daily rate.

BHPA membership is mandatory. One day's membership is included in the price of Taster Days and Tandem Flights, but for EP and CP courses; you will need to take this out on the first day of your course at the school. Full membership details are available on request from the BHPA. Tel. 0116 261 1322. www.bhpa.co.uk

Paragliding is subject to weather and it is important that you make every effort to book your course or use your voucher at the first opportunity. In the event your booking is cancelled on more than eight occasions due to bad weather and you are unable to fly within the voucher/course period, we will extend the validity of the voucher/course by three months at our discretion.
