Profile

Axis training was first formed in 1997. The Paragliding School has been through several incarnations and locations in this time, always around Abergavenny, which has provided us with access to some of the finest flying sites in the UK.

The Paragliding school concentrates on quality pilot training courses, geared to meet individual needs. We have a remarkable record of success, taking new pilots (beginners) on an overseas course to get them most of the way, or all the way through qualification, in conjunction with training here in South Wales. It is possible to 'mix and match' these courses as required, which is great for adding experience of different environments.

Axis use modern and up to date equipment, and often use the Tandem as part of our training tools, something rarely found in other UK schools because of larger group sizes. We also use radios for communication with the student. An area of specialty is the finishing and qualification of pilots, who are struggling to qualify with other schools. Particularly in southern England where small hills, group
size, and lack of soarable sites for all wind directions are common problems.
Pilots who have completed courses with foreign schools, and wish to qualify to UK standards are also welcome here.
