EP course in Morocco: beginner paragliding training for complete beginners
If you want to learn paragliding well, you need practice and a clear plan. So, we run the EP course in Morocco as a focused training week with simple goals each day.
This course suits a total beginner with no prior experience. First, we teach wing control and safe routines on the ground. Then, we move to short flights when conditions allow. Finally, we repeat the basics until they feel natural.

Why South Morocco works well for EP training
South Morocco often gives more flyable training time than the UK in the same months. As a result, you usually get more chances to practise launches, approaches, and landings.
We have run Morocco trips for years. So, we know how to plan sites around the weather. Also, if conditions change, we adapt quickly to keep training useful and safe.

What you will learn on the BHPA EP pathway
The Elementary Pilot (EP) stage builds the habits that keep you safe. For example, you will work on:
- How to choose a safe site and make good weather decisions
- Ground handling and canopy control (including safe stops)
- Pre-flight checks and reliable routines
- Launch technique and clear “go / no-go” choices
- Basic flight control: straight flight and gentle turns with good lookout
- Approaches and landings, including flare timing and accuracy
However, conditions and readiness affect progress. So, we focus on safe, repeatable skill, not rushed sign-offs.

Safety-first instruction and equipment
Paragliding is aviation. So, we treat safety seriously. First, we choose suitable sites for the day. Then, we use clear briefings and simple steps. Also, we keep the ground setup tidy, because good habits start there.
We operate as a BHPA-registered school, and we follow recognised training standards. To learn more, visit:
- BHPA information (on our site)

Equipment replacement cycle
Safety is paramount. So, we use certified training equipment and maintain it carefully. In addition, we replace all training equipment every two years. That gives you peace of mind and helps you feel confident that we put your best interests first.
