mark 107 #4 January 19, 2009 You should check regulations for riggers in the country where you want to work. Riggers working in the USA need a USA rating; some European countries accept USA ratings, some do not. Choose a course that leads to the rating you want. Whatever course you choose, you will have expenses: cost of the course, time (vacation days or lost wages), travel, hotel, meals. When you add everything together, the USA may be closer than you think. Dave DeWolf's course is very intense, but affordable. The course at US Academy of Parachute Rigging (usapr.com) is in Arizona, which has special attraction at this time of year. (Disclaimer: I work for USAPR.) I like Guido's rigger courses (parastore.de). Shorter courses, more focussed. Possible to do in several sessions instead of one long session. If I were looking for a course in Europe, I would go there. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerolim 7 #5 January 20, 2009 I am from Croatia, and I have a (Croatian) instructor rating. Riggers are not yet needed in our Country. But, when we travel to other countries reserve must be sealed by rigger. That is why I want to go to course,... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be aware that if you want a U.S. FAA rigger certificate you will have to come to the US. There are no Designated Parachute Rigger Examiners outside the US and that's the only way to get a FAA certificate. Training can be anywhere from N FAA rigger.

Went to Hans (Fallschirmdepot Ostermünchner GmbH). Great guy. Ended up with German and Croatian Master riggers licence (not FAA stuff).
