Nov 25/20 – review from Glen
I think the best word to describe the training experience that Andre provides is professional. I was in Toronto hesitating of which schools to go to. Availability, length, quality, safety. So many questions came up. I eventually called Andre, and we spent a good deal of time talking.
I felt genuinely safe and confident with the way he described his training plan, how we would by no means take any risks, and how we could work things out given my unpredictable schedule.
Going down to St. Catherine’s, I was nervous of what to expect, but the course definitely met my expectations. Since the beginning, you could tell Andre was very knowledgeable in these sports, and was always willing to answer the numerous and random questions I had.
He has been doing this for several years, and I could tell by the way he anticipated every step in the learning process. Whenever a doubt or obstacle came during the training, he quickly addressed it as he already knew it would occur. He guided both the physical and mental process of learning. Taught me appropriate form, kiting, safety; prepared me mentally for my first flight. He was also very objective. He would promptly identify my mistakes, and address them in a firm, polite and educating manner.
I would not have chosen another school. Andre is an excellent guide. I have 10 flights completed, and eagerly look forward to finishing my training, knowing Andre will teach me the best and safest way to fly a paramotor.
