FlySpain in Algodonales, Andalucía, offers a route from Elementary Pilot to Club Pilot. Each standard stage is described as six teaching days, with a combined twelve-day option. The package includes equipment, twin-room accommodation and airport transfers. Club Pilot Extra provides eight days for additional practice, combining practical tuition with classroom theory.

The training centre has a ground-handling field and uses the private Ronda La Vieja site for soaring and top landings. The school states that Club Pilot students use reserve parachutes from their first day.

After qualification, Mentor Plus caters for newly qualified, low-airtime and returning pilots. It includes weather briefings, thermalling theory, in-flight coaching and post-flight discussion. Progression XC is aimed at pilots already making regular cross-country flights: it adds route planning, a loan tracker, retrieves and tracklog analysis. For these progression programmes, the school requires a complete personal equipment set, including a radio and vario.
