OASE Flugschule is based in Obermaiselstein near Oberstdorf in the Oberallgäu. Its German A-licence training consists of a basic course on a gentle training slope with radio guidance and theory following the DHV syllabus, a follow-on course and high-flight training with at least twenty alpine flights, including from the Hörnerbahn and the Nebelhorn; the theory and practical examinations are taken at the end of the course. The school's home hill is the Hörnerbahn, where it lands on its own meadow right next to the school building.

For licensed pilots it offers practical B-licence training and flying trips that are recognised as DHV Sky Performance training focused on thermals and flying technique. In Bassano, Italy, it runs the week-long B-Ready stay with two instructors, launch and manoeuvre training, group thermal flying and collecting flights for the B-licence.

The school also offers tandem flights in the Allgäu and the Kleinwalsertal. Its workshop is a DHV-approved inspection centre carrying out two-year checks and repairs on paragliders and repacking reserve parachutes.

In the Oberallgäu, A-licence training can be taken in stages or in one go: the basic course, the Aufbaukurs and the high-flight course are sold separately, as an eight-day combined course or as a compact course of about two weeks, optionally with new equipment in the Deluxe package. For licensed pilots the school also runs the Basic XC cross-country seminar and regional tours - Explore Allgäu, hike & fly in the Allgäu and the winter Ski & Fly - which also go into the neighbouring Kleinwalsertal and Bregenzerwald.

In North Macedonia OASE runs week-long cross-country trips based in Kruševo with an outing to Lake Ohrid: XC Plus for more experienced thermal pilots and XC Basic for pilots starting out on cross-country.
