Activity Overview

This is the paragliding course for those wishing to obtain a Paragliding Restricted Certificate accredited by the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia. This certificate allows you to fly in a club environment without instructor supervision. This course includes all theory and practical skills necessary to fly safely and competently. We nurture your inner voice. The voice that keeps you safe instead of getting you to ignore it and push on... Your passion is you most valued asset. We facilitate your learning to read the conditions as well as to recognise your risk profile and determine whether you want to commit aviation.. You will be able to determine you level of comfort in a range of conditions and have the knowledge to decide what you want out of the sport. Our past student come back, for further training courses, send their friends and have over the years help build a community Australia wide. You don't only get two qualified instructors on every course you get a whole community around you to help nurture your flying for now and in years to come. Part of the training involves meeting members of the Northern Rivers Hang Gliding and Paragliding club most of whom have learnt with Poliglide. Not only are the skills you learn on this course important but the contacts you make will facilitate you future involvement in the sport. Whether you are an x fighter pilot or come to us with no aviation background we have developed skills to understand where you are at. With experience teaching 14 to 70 year olds age should not be a limiting factor. We include nine days of training which in our experience is ample for more than 99% of people. Most people are able to do the minimum requirements of the restricted licence in 7 days. The rest of the course is spent on more soaring hours to get you beyond the critical stage and help you setting into the sport. For the ultra quick learners we offer a day to day course deal that cost you as little as 5 days training. Worth asking us about especially if you have skills already. To improve your rate of learning as well as our safety margins Poliglide’s gives you close attention during your training. Class size is capped at a maximum of 4 students for each instructor. A minimum service agreement that has given Poliglide it's fine reputation for safety and a extremely low accident rate. We understand this is a new endeavour you are embarking on so the more attention you get the more you will pick up and the safer you will feel in potentially the most exhilarating life change you will every make. We have structured debriefing sessions at the end of each day where you learn to log your flights , and discuss your learning outcomes. After this important assessment we both gain an understanding for your next set of goals for the days ahead. Over the years we have helped people not only through the transition of flight certification but simultaneously some of our customers have opened up to us about other life changes they have either experienced before during or after the training. We are aware that facing fears is a broad concept and are happy if you use this course as your catalyst in moving though 'stages' in your life. Many have before you. Your not a number or a bottom line profit to us. Your a human being, worthy of attention and you become apart of an extended family when you learn to fly.
