Additional Ratings
Up Your Game
Add to your credentials.
Our Additional Ratings courses enable licensed civilian and military riggers to build knowledge, practice skills and earn specific ratings.
Course Description
Senior Riggers or Master Riggers will engage in four days of hands-on training in order to achieve additional ratings, such as Back, Chest or Seat. On the fifth day, candidates will visit the local FAA office for sign-off, then return to USAPR for their practical tests.
Our inventory features a wide range of examples of each type, exposing candidates to designs, packing techniques, and insights that cannot be developed by repetitively packing a single make/model.
