Skydiving Certificates are of an International standard. However, when students complete skydiving courses in a foreign country, most worldwide Federations would like those students to go home with an ‘A’ Certificate and preferably a ‘B’ Certificate. Returning home with a course completed, but no Certificate, can cause problems. Some international students have been made to re-do course jumps upon returning home without a Certificate.
