How We Work
In addition to the theoretical aspect, we also focus on active pedagogy, which is an essential component of our teaching method. We believe that learning by doing is the most effective way to master paragliding skills, which is why we provide practical sessions with real-time feedback from our experienced instructors.
Our instructors are not only skilled pilots but also certified educators who know how to deliver the knowledge in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. We understand that every student is different, and we adapt our teaching approach to fit individual learning styles, pace, and goals.
Another aspect that sets us apart is our commitment to safety. We follow strict protocols and guidelines to ensure that our students fly in a safe environment, both in terms of equipment and weather conditions. Our team of instructors constantly evaluates and updates our safety measures to keep up with the latest industry standards.
At Paragliding school FLUMEN, we believe that learning to fly should be a memorable and enjoyable experience. We aim to create a supportive and friendly atmosphere that encourages our students to push their limits and achieve their goals. Our goal is not only to teach you how to fly but also to inspire you to embrace the joy and freedom that paragliding offers.
