Paragliding does not require training, however, it is very
highly encouraged due to how dangerous paragliding can be.
Paragliding training is typically referred to as "PPG training" and
is offered by paragliding instructors. Most classes take five to
seven days, either in a row or spread out over weekends. The best
training you can get is simply to practice, as the more you
paraglide, the more comfortable you will become with it.
