Once you have complete The combat infabtrymans course at ITC Catterick, Guards and Paras can then complete P company.
Once you have completed P company, you will have qualified for a parachute course to obtain your winds. This consists of
The BCF is held at RAF Brize Norton and run by the No 1 Parachute Training School.
To complete the course, candidates must complete:
1000 ft single stick formation (no equipment)
1000 ft single stick formation (with equipment)
800 ft single stick formation (with equipment)
800 ft single stick formation (with equipment) at night
800 ft simultaneous stick formation (with equipment)
700 ft simultaneous stick formation (with equipment) at night
600 ft simultaneous stick formation (with equipment)
Once you complete the above you will gain your wings and enter your chosen regiment.
Other units can participate in All army P company to gain their wings if they are attached to 16 air assault etc.
Hope this helps, any further question font hesitate in asking.
