Don't worry... Less than optimal level 1 jumps are perfectly normal. Skydiving is a never ending learning curve and for a long time even after AFF that learning curve will be about controlling your nervousness and anxiety.
FAI license worldwide?!
in General Skydiving Discussions
If you are from and live in Germany and you also plan to jump there, you'll need a German license sooner or later. It is possible to convert a foreign license to a German one without a lot of issues. Expect to do a written test on air law and maybe one or two check jumps. Also keep in mind that licenses from countries where people would suspect less "safety-orientedness" might trigger alarm bells in many instructors and dropzones. Sidefact - there is nothing like a B, C or D license in Germany. One level for everything.
A German license is usually recognized without many problems worldwide. Anyways if you plan to jump more internationally a USPA license might be the way to go. It is known in almost all places. Just be aware that in some countries you'll need additional third-party liability insurance on top of your USPA membership.
