You are required to be present at the school from 9.00am to 5pm each day of the course on a good weather day, for the duration of the course.

Day one - intro theory , equipment allocation and set up
Day two - 8- 10 flights on the sand dunes
Day three - high flights from Map of Africa
Day four - ten - high flights accomplishing the requirements of the course. As well as theory, review of exam, completion of paperwork.
