Training:
B.P.A.
At the Wild Geese our jump courses include all the necessary training and of course the use of the parachute equipment.  We work under the regulations of the British Parachute Association (B.P.A.), the governing body of our sport in the U.K., therefore all your training will be carried out by highly qualified B.P.A. Approved Instructors.

We will provide you with all of your training needs, at all levels of the progression system, in all aspects and various disciplines in the sport.  And who knows, you could even be winning medals at national level in competition, be a member of a display team, or even become an instructor yourself and pass on, not only your skills and knowledge to others but also the love of the sport.

Our sport is for all, we feel that everyone should have the chance to experience the thrill and excitement as we do. The young and the not so young, the able bodied and less able bodied, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
