Should I sign up for TASTER DAYS or BEGINNER COURSE, what is the difference?
Where does it take place?
For beginner courses we use the grounds that provide maximum level of safety and possibilities for high quality exercises and training for altitude flying to come. These grounds are located in Prebold, Logatec and Senično. To reach these locations we provide our own group transport from Ljubljana.
When do we begin?
You can start the BEGINNER COURSE course right after the TASTER DAYS course.
