As a paraglider pilot, I thought that converting to paramotors would be a simple and quick transition. It isn't - it's fundamentally different, and as such, needs a lot of good training and a lot of hands on practice. And that's what you get at UKPPG.
Nigel is a very experienced, skilled and patient instructor. He spent a lot of time training me, spotting my mistakes and offering great tips and advice. He built up my skills incrementally with plenty of practice to ensure my reactions would be instinctive, and only let me fly when we were both sure I was ready.
I spent 13 days here training and made 3 flights. Maybe not as much as you'd expect, but I feel confident, safe and I'm hooked.
I have no hesitation in recommending UKPPG to anyone who seriously wants to learn to fly a paramotor safely.
It's worth making the effort to get here just for this quality of training. I did. I came from Taiwan. And I'll be back again soon for some more. Maybe I'll see you there. Jez

I contacted Nigel in May 2013 after researching paramotoring on the internet and was invited to the UKPPG open day, where I met 2 of the most dedicated people I have ever known who seem to put everyone else before themselves, namely Nigel & Nikki Davies. Kerry and myself were welcomed by everyone that day as if we were old friends. Nigel filled me full of confidence with the answers to questions he had probably heard a thousand times before, but his main comment was 'I spend a lot of time with all of my students to make sure they are safe and I wont let anyone fly until I think they are ready'. After many enjoyable hours ground handling the wing, Nigel was confident it was my turn to take to the air. I left the ground, lost my nerve and quickly landed, but after a tandem flight with Nigel to get me back in the saddle, I have now completed my first 2 solo flights all thanks to the help and support of everyone at UKPPG.

8th Oct 2012 my feet have just left the ground, my maiden flight. Wow words cant explain the thrill exhilaration, excitement, the buzz.
Ive had a smile on my face from day one; I have never looked back at training at UKPPG.
Nigel & Nikki thanks for being so hospitable putting the time in, always encouraging, patient and a damn good instructor.
From a complete novice with no experience at all to (can I call myself a pilot after 1 flight) trainee pilot in the making. The pace of training is down to you (and the British weather) Nigel & Nikki always obliging.
Nigel knows when youre ready, his knowledge and skill is second to none and he gets the best out of you.
Dont look any further, UKPPG is the best.
I would like to thank my friends again Nigel & Nikki cheers, also to the other pilots I have met for their help and encouragement Dave Lefevre and my training buddy Paul.

I have always wanted to try something new and exciting and Paramotoring seemed the ideal way to take to the air at a price that was within my range, after many phones calls and chats with other pilots I kept hearing the same thing time and time again, give Nigel & Nikki a call at UKPPG and you wont go far wrong. So one phone call later and I was down the training field to find out what it was all about. This turned out to be an excellent decision as Nigel is extremely knowledgeable and talented instructor who always ensured that during my training safety was paramount. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the time, effort and commitment provided in allowing me to achieve my first couple of solo flights something I will never forget (neither will Nigel!!!). Many thanks again, Paul Green, Student (ongoing)

When I first called Nigel from a Google search, I was pretty apprehensive having already spoken to a couple of other "instructors". However, Nigel seemed different, he was actually happy to help, flexible in when and how the training progressed and adament that he wouldnt put me up into the air until I was 110% ready to fly - he made me feel it was all possible.
What can I say; I feel like I could write a book about my journey into the sky. Nigel is a diamond, along with his lovely wife Nikki. They are hospitable, fun and most of all very knowledgeable about all things paramotoring ? These guys enthusiasm for the sport is infectious.
Would I recommend them to you? Damn right I would. If you are thinking about getting into the sport, in my humble opinion, there is no better place to learn than UKPPG. If you want to contact me about my experience with UKPPG - call me on 07500 004271
He sells stuff too?... :-)

UKPPG TRAINING: After buying some equipment and wasting £900 on training with a different company i put my gear up for sale. During this time i contacted Nigel at UKPPG and tried 1 days training, from this day on i am in love with the sport, the abillty to find fault with take offs and landing is second to none and health and saftey is key to the trust i have for Nigel and Nikki. To sum it all up i payed for the cheaper coarse and got poor training and support from my original instuctor and wasted £900 trying to get in the air in an unsafe manner. YOU WILL NOT GET BETTER i travel 104m from Birmingham to March to complete my training coarse with Nigel and Nikki at UKPPG. THANKS GUYS FOR HELPING ME THROUGH TO THE LEVEL I AM AT NOW. You learn so much more at UKPPG :)

I always wanted to fly but never thought my dream would come true so quickly. I came across PPG on youtube in June 2011 and by July I started training with UKPPG. Had my first flight on day 6 of training. I am so glad I went to UKPPG. Nobody else in the UK can offer the range of equipment and level of quality in training in my opinion. Even their after sales service is excellent and that says a lot these days! Nigel and Nikki, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to make by dream a reality!

Excellent training! Second to none. Nigel is by far best of the best with his methods and prospective pilots should look no further than UKPPG for they're training. I came with no background in flying and with Nigel's advice I now have every confidence in my skills and am ready to fly. Over the past months whenever the timing is just right for me, I ring Nigel and come over for the day for a lesson- He is very flexible and more than willing to teach whenever needed. Great advice on motors and wings, Nigel has been non-biased and open to each individual's needs. My mate and I are currently both in training and has given us both very helpful advice on motors and wings that are suitable to our needs and skill level. Nigel and Nikki have exceeded my expectations in every way and I can't thank them enough! Not only have i learned to paramotor, Being from america-I've also learned to make proper english tea and fix my brummie accent! You learn so much more at UKPPG!

First Class. I cannot thank Nigel and Nikki enough.
Having had a bad experience with another school, I decided to try UKPPG for my PPG training, and I still cant believe how lucky I was. Having spoken to other trainees whilst there, they too unfortunately have had poor instruction elsewhere.
Nigels attention to detail really paid off and even in the first day started to correct my poor technique. I would thoroughly recommend them for training, as it really is First Class. Nigel and Nikki are so wonderful and friendly, they really cant do enough for you.
I had thought about going abroad to train due to the weather, but it really wasnt needed as the time and dedication that is put into training definitely makes the most of every minute thats available.
I cant thank you both enough.
